What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
​
A local produce subscription where members receive weekly deliveries of seasonal vegetables for 20+ weeks during the main growing season (May - October).
​
A model of buying food that is focused on community where a participant pays in advance for a share and then becomes a important member of the farm for the whole season.
​
A weekly box or basket of fresh local vegetables. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness and will often store longer and have more flavor than other produce.
​
