ELIJA Farm

What ELIJA Farm does

ELIJA Farm CSA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization operating a ten-acre sustainable farm at 43 Foxhurst Road on the North Shore of Long Island in South Huntington, NY, with an administrative office in Levittown. The organization runs a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program offering seasonal produce shares: an 18-week Summer CSA (June-October), a 12-week Spring CSA, and a 10-12 week Fall CSA with Microgreens and Baked Goods add-on modules. Pricing spans $56.25 for a half microgreens share to $1,778 for a premium Health & Wellness summer membership, with weekly shares delivering 8-12 vegetable varieties to subscriber households.

Beyond the CSA core, ELIJA Farm monetizes through an on-site farmstand at the South Huntington property (eggs, microgreens, baked goods, plants, and branded merchandise), a doorstep delivery service within a 15-25 mile radius operated via Trellus, and a portfolio of educational classes including Farm Explorer (Beginner/Intermediate), Baking, Creative Arts, and Toddler Thyme sessions priced $35-$90 each. The farm also accepts tax-deductible donations and runs a naming opportunity capital campaign for commemorative bricks, stones, trees, benches, picnic tables, gardens, the farm house, and the barn, with named contributions ranging from $150 to $50,000.

The underlying technology stack is horticultural rather than digital: environmentally responsible farming with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, on-site produce washing and packing with no middleman handling, and a basic e-commerce storefront plus social media presence (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram) for member engagement. The differentiated mission is vocational — all CSA and farm activities support innovative farm-based programming that creates opportunities for differently-abled adults, distinguishing the nonprofit from conventional produce vendors and providing the emotional and reputational anchor for its community-supported model.
