Community Sponsored Farm Shares

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 Sanctuary for Families in NYC, the YMCA of Greater Boston, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston 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 farm share delivered directly to a family at one of our partner sites. The farm has discounted the price of the shares by 20% to support this effort, 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.
