CSAs

What is Community Supported Agriculture?

CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) provides a mutually beneficial arrangement between a farmer and his consumers. People join by purchasing a "share" of produce pre-season, then pick up their weekly veggies from a central drop point in their area during the harvest season.

Benefits for the farmer?

When signing up, you dedicate yourself to being a customer for the season, providing the farmer a secure market. Also, there is a more rewarding link between the farmer and the community.

Benefits for the shareholder?

No more guessing where your food comes from! Members receive a weekly supply of diverse veggies with "the farmer's face on it." Your produce is harvested and delivered directly to you ensuring the freshest produce with a high nutritional value. You also get the satisfaction of knowing you are supporting a local farm.
