What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

A local food subscription where members receive regular deliveries of seasonal produce or meats for 20+ weeks during the main growing season (May - October).

A model of buying food focused on building community when a participant pays for a portion of the share in advance and shares in the risks and rewards with the farm for the whole season.

A box 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 locally to support a strong regional food system.
