What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

​

A local farm subscription where members sign up in advance to receive weekly deliveries of seasonal produce or other farm products during the main growing season (May - October).

​

A model of buying food focused on community where members make a commitment to receive a share for a whole season. They share in the risk and reward of the harvest and develop a deeper relationship with the partner farm.

​

A box of seasonal farm products. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness to maximize their flavor and quality. 

​
