Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Community Supported Agriculture is an innovative approach to growing, selling, buying, and consuming food. While new in name, CSA harkins back to an earlier time when people knew where their food came from, ate in harmony with the seasons, and enjoyed a balanced diet of fresh, local, organically grown foods.

CSA is about community. It is about relationships: Relationships between farmers and consumers, and between consumers and the land. Bridging the urban and the rural, CSA simplifies the relationship between people and the source of their food.

By purchasing a season's membership, consumers pledge their support to the growers and share the risks inherent to farming. In return, members receive a weekly share of the harvest...and much more.

Besides delicious locally grown produce, CSA farms provide a focal point for education and community building. On-farm share pick-ups and festivals provide a unique opportunity for urban families to share and learn together in a farm setting.
