"Roxbury is a community supported farm, one of the largest in the country, and the first to have a community in New York City.

"The high market prices of fresh produce, the relative scarcity of stores that sell it in low-income neighborhoods, the soaring obesity rates that result, and obesity’s harmful health consequences are the powerful motivating forces that drives the Farm Fresh initiative. Why should some families be forced to compromise their health and eat unwholesome foods simply because it is the only affordable option?
"Sang Lee Farms is a second generation family farm originally growing produce for the Asian markets in New York and along the east coast.
Over the last fifteen years the farm has shifted its focus to retail, farmers' markets and community supported agriculture. In doing so it has added many new specialty vegetable and herb products, including heirloom tomatoes, multicolored carrots, asparagus, potatoes and garlic.
