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.

The High Country Food Hub is a central storage facility and online farmers' market for locally-grown food. Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture and the Watauga County Cooperative Extension worked together to create this space which will open new markets for our community's farmers and serve as a collection site for vegetables grown in community gardens, before they are distributed at local food banks. 

Ordering from the High Country Food Hub helps to build and support our community, and to preserve our precious agricultural land for future use.

Customers can now order CSAs through the High Country Food Hub!
