Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership of consumers and farmers. CSA members provide a guaranteed market and income to produce food for a growing season. The farmers provide weekly shares of fresh, seasonal, organically grown produce. Both partners share in the risks and rewards of small-scale farming: weather, insect damage, and bumper crops. Families and individuals who join the CSA receive a share of produce every week during the growing season paid for in advance.
CSA members also receive:- a connection to where their food comes from
- a chance to meet other members during distribution days, and special events.
- security in the knowledge that your money is supporting the future of a local farm committed to sustainable agriculture.
CSA is basically an opportunity to create a connection between the we the farmers and the eater. Together we form a community to enjoy and experience a season of growing and eating. We provide organic, fresh, tasty, and healthy food, in return for support by appreciative members.
