What is a CSA?

Community supported agriculture (CSA), is a mutual partnership between a farmer and a community of supporters who buy shares of the farm's harvest each year. The shares are typically paid for in the late winter and early spring. During these months are when most of the operating costs for a farm occur (seeds, fertilizer, potting soil, new equipment purchase and repairs, etc.) but the farmer does have a product to sell.

How Do You
​Contribute to the Farm?

By purchasing CSA shares early on, CSA members enable the farmer to have a solid start to the growing season. Once the season begins, the members receive a weekly share of seasonable vegetables cultivating a direct farmer to consumer relationship.
​
The farmer benefits from membership payments coming in during the spring "cash crunch" and from the knowledge that the produce they are growing already has a home. The CSA member benefits from the seasonal bounty of fresh produce and from the relationship they develop with the people who they are growing their food. CSA members often express their excitement of knowing where their food is coming from and the growing process.
