What is RISE Farm Share?
RISE Farm Share is a 24-week membership subscription to a "share" of locally grown vegetables. Members sign up ahead of time to receive fresh produce every Wednesday. Our farmer, Sang Lee Farms, is a certified organic, regenerative, third-generation family farm and delivers produce directly to our door each week for you.
Farm Share is a commitment for the entire season!

Do I qualify for Affordable Share?
RISE believes that everyone should be able to access fresh, nutritious food.
- Solidarity Share includes the additional cost of helping members who cannot afford the full price.
- Standard Share is the same price we pay the farmer.
- Affordable Share is a 50 percent reduced price for Rockaway residents who are eligible for SNAP. $15 per week paid using SNAP benefits at pickup. *$40 advance deposit is required to reserve Affordable Share.
What about options for fresh, locally grown fruit?
RISE offers a fruit share through Briermere Farms. For $180, you will get either one pint or one bag of berries, peaches, apples, and/or pears for eighteen weeks.
