Community Supported Agriculture allows individuals and families to connect with fresh, locally-grown and naturally-raised vegetables and other farm products, while simultaneously supporting local farmers, sound environmental practices and viable economics. The essence of the relationship is mutual commitment: the farm feeds the people and the people support the farm.
Through this process, the community shares in the inherent risks and potential bounty that local, sustainable agriculture offers. With CSA, members pay in advance for a "share" of the season's fresh produce. This up-front payment supports the farmer during the spring season when most farm expenses occur. In exchange, the "shareholder" knows exactly where their food is coming from, who is growing it, and how it is being grown. |
