the Full Plate Farm Collective
Subsidized CSA Program
We believe that fresh, nourishing food should be available to everyone, regardless of income.
The Subsidized CSA program offers folks in our community sustained, reliable access to fresh, local, organic produce, plus all the other benefits that come with being a part of our CSA—connection to fellow members, connection to the farms, resources to make the most of the share and more!
Subsidized CSA shares are available at 50% cost to eligible households
Help feed your neighbors
Our Subsidized CSA Fund is made possible by community donations and contributions from our Collective farmers.
We invite the community to support the Subsidized CSA program through our annual Earlybird Discount or Donate Special, fundraising events like Harvest Dinners and Farm to Food Truck Fundraisers. A true embrace of Community Supported Agriculture and a farm-supported community.
.We gratefully accept in kind donations via check mailed to ‘Full Plate’ at PO Box 6898, Ithaca, NY 14851 (note donation in the memo) or online at the link below. Thank you!

What about Healthy Food For All?
Full Plate is no longer a partner of Healthy Food For All as of March 2025. Our farmers are excited to offer the same Subsidized CSA options as always, with all funding and administration handled right here in the Collective.
