About CSA's
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) provides a way for consumers to be connected with local, seasonal food, directly from the farmer who grows it. A farmer will offer a number of "shares" to the public, which typically consist of vegetables, but could also include other farm products. Interested consumers will purchase a share and receive food from a designated area each week.
CSAs provide consumers with easy access to new vegetables that are nutritional, fresh, and full of flavor, while supporting local farms and agriculture, and connect the consumer with both farmer and food. Add Your Farm |
