Community Supported Agriculture

Buy seasonally and get it direct from the farm

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system in which subscribers buy into a local farm and receive a share of the harvest. Some farms have weekly or seasonal subscriptions, in which a flat rate is paid and members pick up their food at a designated location. Other CSAs ask that, along with paying for a subscription, members volunteer some of their time to work on the farm. As the name suggests, a CSA fosters community involvement, as subscribers share the “risk” of crop yields along with the farmers. This is a great way to learn more about farming and take some time to get your hands dirty.
