COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE
Community Supported Agriculture, or "CSA", is a relationship of
commitment between farmers and customers who subscribe annually
as members of a local farm. Over 1000 CSA farms are now operating in
the U.S.

CSA farm members receive a weekly “share” of the harvest. Members
enjoy each crop in its prime, eating with the rhythm of the seasons.
Being a CSA member means preparing and eating plenty of fresh,
minimally processed foods.

CSA farm memberships typically are paid at the start of each planting
season, providing the farm with operating capital for the year's
production, and helping the farmer plan the planting and harvest
schedules. Members share both the risks and rewards of the farm. In
the event of a complete crop failure, such as from a hurricane or
major freeze, the members agree to take the loss with the farmer.
CSA members often view the farm as their own, and many get
involved and enjoy volunteering in various capacities.  

While getting the freshest, most nutritious produce, CSA farm
members also:
  • know where, how, and by whom their food is grown
  • invest their food dollars for a strong local economy
  • reduce environmental impacts of food production,
    transportation, and packaging
  • promote sustainable agriculture and food security
  • preserve local farmland by keeping agriculture viable
