WHAT IS A C.S.A?
C.S.A. Stands for Community Supported Agriculture. A C.S.A. is a unique way to become invested in a local farm's success and enjoy this success in the form of healthy, local, produce. A C.S.A. functions by Members purchasing a "share" from their farm in exchange for weekly produce. The money spent supporting a C.S.A. covers the expense of seeds, plants, equipment and much more. This business model creates a more stable, sustainable lifestyle for the farmers. It is an opportunity to build a relationship with the people who grow your food and reap the yummy benefits!
