Charlotte’s CSA Home Delivery

Know Your Farms Home DeliveryHome delivery from Charlotte’s CSA service, Know Your Farms, is now available for a growing number of neighborhoods.  The Elizabeth neighborhood is the first of a growing number of areas supported by the home delivery option.  Each area will have at least one coordinator who lives in the area helping KYF distribute local food shares.  Other neighborhood areas that can get home delivery are Dilworth, South End, South Park, NoDA, Plaza-midwood, and Sedgefield.  Uptown Charlotte will be able to participate in home delivery later in 2013.  Neighborhoods north of Charlotte that can participate are Highland Creek, Skybrook, and Davis Lake.

Anyone interested in adding their neighborhood to the service areas should contact Know Your Farms through their website drop site form and area coordinator form.  The forms are located under the Get Involved menu.

Know Your Farms

Know Your Farms has been providing local foods from Charlotte-area farms since 2008.  Their CSA supports small family farms surrounding Charlotte.  They are the only home delivery service in Charlotte that uses local foods from farms within 40-50 miles of Charlotte.
