What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

A local food subscription where members receive regular deliveries of seasonal produce (vegetables and some fruits) or meats for 20+ weeks during the growing season.

A model of buying food focused on building community. A participant pays for a share in advance and becomes an important part of the farm for the whole season.

A farm box or basket of in-season items grown by Kentucky farmers. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness to maximize their flavor and quality.

What are the Benefits of CSA?

Convenience--pick up your share at work or on the way home.
Know the farmer who grows your food. Receive regular newsletters and seasonal recipes.
Enjoy the health benefits of increasing vegetable consumption throughout the season.
Support sustainable farming practices that promote soil health and improve biodiversity.
Invest more food dollars to support a strong Kentucky food system.
