What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
​
CSA is a local food subscription that connects you directly with Kentucky farmers. Members receive a weekly box of seasonal produce harvested at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and quality for a certain number of weeks. By purchasing a share in advance, you become a vital part of the farm community, supporting local agriculture and sharing in the season’s bounty.
​
