What's Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a revolutionary farming model that allows individuals and families to pay for a discontinued share of the harvest ahead of the growing season when the farmer needs the money for expense like seeds, soil amendments, potting soil, and greenhouse firewood. A share means that each member will be able to come to the farm, starting in June and pickup freshly harvested and washed organic produce as the season changes. This direct link between the farmer and the eater means that I can better grow the food for the people that I know and the consumer can see the farm and know that I am growing food in ways that are both economically and environmentally sustainable. Reestablishing the local food economy never tasted so good!
How Do The Shares Work?
