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