Hellgate CSA usually has a very long waiting list. We are just about to close out our membership for the 2014 season, and there are still many people on the wait list who want to join and won't get a spot. If you added your name to the wait list in February 2014 or later, it doesn't look great for joining for 2014.
So don't forget about the other wonderful CSAs in nearby neighborhoods. If you have flexibility, maybe one of these will work for you until Hellgate opens up.
These are:
Harvest Astoria CSA: http://www.harvestastoria.com/pricing/
Wednesday pickup on The Church of the Redeemer (30-14 Crescent Street near 30th Ave.)
You must sign up in person for this CSA and they have one more signup events. See their website for details.
Farmspot CSA: http://farmspot.org/
Thursday pickup on St. Mark’s Church (33-50 82nd Street), Jackson Heights, NY
Flushing CSA: http://flushingcsa.com/
Thursday pickup at 37-35 Northern Blvd in Flushing, NY 11354
Long Island City CSA: http://liccsa.wordpress.com/
Wednesday pickup at 36-49 11th Street (inside a parking-lot between 36th and 37th ave).
If you are on our wait list, rest assured that joining another CSA will not affect your position.
