Siena Farms is proud to offer Community Sponsored Farm Shares to increase equitable access to fresh, healthy vegetables in the Greater Boston area and New York City. We’re excited to partner with the YMCA of Greater Boston, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, and Sanctuary for Families in NYC to support their missions of hunger relief by bringing our farm’s fresh vegetables to local families facing food insecurity – with your help.

How It Works

Your purchase of a Community Sponsored Farm Share will cover the cost of a Siena Farms Vegetable Farm Share delivered directly to a family in one of our partner networks. The farm has discounted the price of the shares by 10% to support this effort (renewing sponsorship options are discounted an additional 5%), and we’ve structured the following options for you to consider. Your secure online purchase can be made below; we’ll take care of it from there in terms of coordination and distribution.

Since launching our Community Sponsored Farm Share program in 2020, we have been able to distribute over 20,000 Siena Farms' CSA boxes to local families facing food insecurity.  That's a lot of veggies! We’re so excited and grateful to continue building this momentum, through the support of our CSA members.

About Our Partner Organizations

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a customized sponsorship, please contact our office. Please note that the purchase of a Community Sponsored Farm Share is not a tax-deductible donation – but will of course be so appreciated by the recipient family.  

Thank you, in advance, for considering this small but concrete way to make a dent in a giant, urgent and complex challenge.
