Full Plate Farm Collective

P.O. Box 6898
607-342-7632

Three Farms: Stick and Stone Farm, Remembrance Farm, and Three Swallows Farm are working together to bring a bountiful and varied harvest share to 400+ families in the greater Ithaca area each season. Members can pickup at Stick and Stone or at Three Swallows Farm, at Ludgates Farms, in various neighbors hoods in the city of Ithaca, or have your share delivered to your home/work place. Community events planned throughout the season.

This is a collective of three farms working to provide a quality CSA experience to shareholders and to strengthen a community of growers and eaters. The three farms are Stick and Stone Farm (12th year in operation!), Three Swallows Farm, and Remembrance Farm. The CSA aspect of operation is managed by Katie Church. This collective feeds 400+ families in the Trumansburg, Ithaca, and Danby Communities.

Many Community Supported Agriculture systems (CSA) are set up so that one farm provides all of the produce for its membership.  The Full Plate Farm Collective CSA is a collective model, where three farms work together to provide produce for a common membership. This allows each of our farms to focus on a specific set of crops, rather than produce all the crops themselves--for example, one farm can focus on producing high-quality tomatoes while another focuses on high-quality carrots.  Our farms share resources, like equipment, storage space, and our website.  Our wonderful coordinator, Katie, oversees things like distribution logistics, membership and sign-ups, and our regular farmers' meetings.
