The Full Plate Farm Collective is a unique collective model CSA.

One membership supports many farms. No matter where you pick up your share or have it delivered, your food comes from Stick and Stone, Remembrance and more local organic growers too!

Together we are committed to building up community, farming with integrity, and growing high quality food with fair prices and living wages for all involved. Your membership helps us make this vision a reality.

Full Plate is cooperatively owned & operated by

Stick and Stone Farm & Remembrance Farm,

two of the Ithaca area’s largest organic farms. Each farm maintains their own independent business, wholesale, unique specialty crops and more, coming together to create shares and community as the Full Plate Farm Collective! Each farm contributes about half of our weekly CSA shares, together they

produce about 90% of the food for our CSA

But we don’t do it alone!

It is Community Supported Agriculture, after all.

The collective model allows us to work with and support many more great fellow-producers in the Ithaca area! We commit to buying crops early in the year, much like our members do for us. Their contributions enrich share variety and support crop security, backing each other up when yields are down.

About 10% of our share is made up of food from more local growers and producers!

We are stronger together

Full Plate is a full embrace of the principles of Community Supported Agriculture, supported both by members and by every farm who contributes.

By feeding a shared member community, each of our farms can focus on a specific set of crops, rather than produce all the crops themselves. And, sometimes, to back each other up when mother nature interferes. Our farms also share resources like equipment, storage space, and the risks that come with a changing climate and invasive pests. Our wonderful coordinator, Molly, oversees distribution logistics, membership communication and our regular farmers' meetings, allowing the farms to focus on what they do best—growing good food for you!

We are community supported farms, and we endeavor to create a farm supported community.

As a part of this you benefit from the variety and abundance the farms grow together, broader connections to our local foodshed, and from having a CSA Coordinator to support a great CSA experience.

Our story wouldn’t be complete without a nod to our third founding farm, Three Swallows Farm, now home to

The Youth Farm Project

Since 2010, the Youth Farm Project has managed this historical farm adjacent to the Ithaca Waldorf School. The Youth Farm partners with local schools to provide farming and social justice education and programs like the Fresh Snack Program. They also offer accessible pay-what-you-can produce markets both on the farm and through their Mobile Market.
The Youth Farm doesn't sell produce into the CSA shares, that way they can focus on what they do best: educate and grow a vibrant community of future farmers and foodies.
But! The connection remains!
The summer youth crew maintains one of our wonderful u-pick gardens and YFP hosts our Saturday pack-your-own farm pick-up, feeding 120+ households. As a bonus much of the staff have worked with our farms before landing at YFP
