New City Farm, part of New City Neighbors empowers young adults with hands-on learning and work. We sell a majority of our food through CSA farm shares.

When you buy fresh produce, you're not only nourishing yourself but also creating jobs, leadership opportunities, and supporting local food resource centers. New City Farm is a 2 acre farm in the Creston neighborhood of Grand Rapids. The farm uses the best biological practices available to grow a wide spectrum of vegetables. We amend our soil annually with rich compost and we never use synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or GMO seeds to ensure our food is delicious and healthy. Shareholders pay an upfront fee at the beginning of the season in order to receive a box of fresh produce weekly from June-October. We set up our pickup like a farmer's market so our customers are able to have a good amount of choice in what they decide to bring home. Our staff are always available to answer any questions about new vegetables and can offer recipe ideas too. In a typical year our customers save 25% on their produce, making a CSA farm share a great way to save money. We offer full shares, half shares and quarter shares (which pick up every other week). We are also able to accept EBT and Double-up-food-Bucks for share purchases. Double-up-food-Bucks provide customers with a 50% discount on their shares, and we can work out a payment plan for all EBT customers. We strongly believe that fresh veggies should be available to everyone! Email for more share info at [email protected]. Most exciting of all, our farm exists to employ our neighborhood high school youth. The farm is a program of the faith based community development organization New City Neighbors. Annually we hire roughly 15-20 highschool youth to work within our organization's social enterprises. Students are involved in all aspects of the farm including customer service, marketing, newsletter writing and design, record keeping, and much more. If you are in high school and live in the Creston neighborhood go to our website www.newcityneighbors.org/farm to apply online.

Reminder that Week 5 pick up will look slightly different - we have FALL FEST this evening (although it’s set up a bit early) starting at 4pm. Free food in the cafe, fun in our parking lot, and candy everywhere! Costumes STRONGLY encouraged - but certainly not necessary for spooky fun.

Please be aware due to fun, parking is not available in our parking lot, but we have indicated a space close to the building for accessibility.

Can’t wait to see you all throughout the day!

Today we wanted to express our thanks to organizations and programs that have been supporting us this Fall - volunteers from Amway came earlier this week to help build tunnels, and students from Stepping Stones have been showing up weekly this Fall learning about the environment, harvesting, and today WEEDING! Many hands make for much lighter work allowing our farmers to focus on feeding people AND caring for our neighborhood. Thank you all!
