“It doesn’t get any more local than grown in town!”
NEEM celebrates our fifth season and expanded capability on the 11.2 acre inner-city farm in Durham, NC. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
NEEM Organoponicos is an agroecological CSA that supports the Durham community.

Produce pick up locations to be announced – delivery available if demand warrants. You can renew your CSA subscription at the end of the cycle. We will be year-round at that point. Limited shares available.
What You Can Expect:
Vegetables from NEEM Organoponicos & our Greenhouse means your CSA share of 8 – 10 varieties of produce, herbs, and fruits will be handpicked and boxed every week for pick up on Tuesday from 4PM – 6PM (or later). Contents of the CSA box will vary week to week but there will always be variety, dependant on the season and growing conditions. A wide variety of seasonal crops are planted for harvest during the subscription period. All of the vegetables, herbs and flowers from NEEM are sustainably produced.
Where Does It Go?
A NEEM CSA is a gift to the community and will address fresh food in food deserts, nutrition, obesity, support sustainable urban farming, hiring in community (economic development) and of course NEEM and its programs & projects. Most recent NEEM funded projects include Glen School, WG Pearson, Fayetteville Elementary, Summer of Service gardens, Funes-Kodak Trail, and McDougald Terrace Community Garden (Spring 2012).
We may feature products from local and urban farms we know and trust. Due to the unpredictability of farming, we cannot guarantee any specific item. We do not customize individual boxes. Subscribers are responsible for picking up their boxes. If for any reason you are unable to pick up your weekly share, arrangements should be made to have someone else pick up the share. Unclaimed shares will be donated. After-hours pick up is available.
