Introducing Choy Commons Vegetable Club, a weekly subscription of East Asian vegetables and herbs offered from June to November in New York City. 

Coming Spring 2025 :)

Buying a share of our vegetable club gives you access to delicious, locally grown Asian vegetables while empowering farmers to be in control of the mechanisms of our own production. You'll play a vital role in building a community-led food system, support young Asian farmers, and continue a legacy of committed reciprocity between farmers and community. This is a pathway toward building interdependence and mutual aid, a step towards food sovereignty in our bioregion, and a community-owned intervention to reduce dependency on food from far away – keeping your dollars in our communities. You’ll have confidence that the food you’re eating is restoring our soil, farmed in reciprocal relationship with all living beings who share our ecosystems, and that your purchase provides fair wages to farmers. In exchange, we ask for your commitment to a full season (and to pick up your share each week).

Full Price / True Cost shares will be priced at $770 for 22 weeks, which covers $32 of veggies and $3 of trucking fees each week. We will provide 8-12 items each week, which can feed a household of 2-4 people. In tradition of Community Supported Agriculture programs, payment is collected upfront to cover the cost of supplies in Spring to grow food throughout the season.

We recognize that buying a share of Choy Commons Vegetable Club is a large commitment. We are dedicated to making this as accessible as possible to our community. We will provide sliding scale pricing tiers and will accept payment through SNAP/EBT. Sliding scale means those who are more resourced play a role in subsidizing the cost of those who are less resourced.

We live in increasingly uncertain times, and still we persist to grow food to sustain our people, to preserve our foodways for future descendants. Still, we organize networks of care to depend upon while oppressor-owned systems abandon people in need to favor those poisoned by excess. Still, we grow deeper in relationship with our land, water, air, and each other.

Expectations of civility and comfort must be challenged to build anew. We act with belief in the power of community through this cooperative model so that risk falls less on individual farmers who are placed in marginalized and debt burdened positions due to the chronic devaluation of foodways and food workers in this imperialist country.

We are currently deep in our planning process and seeking pre-signups and feedback for our launch. This is where you come in! Please join the waitlist if you're interested in joining for the 2025 season.

big love big hugs can't wait to feed you xxxxx
