What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership between a local farm and members of the community. The farm pledges to grow food for the community and the community pledges to support the farm. It is a direct food- to- consumer relationship, connecting a community with its food source. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become “members” of the CSA. Farmers receive money at the beginning of the season and it is invested in nurturing the growing season - seeds, greenhouse expenses, equipment, labor, etc. In return members receive a weekly share of the farm - their investment returned in healthful, vibrant food, as fresh as it gets!CSAs’ support sustainable and responsible land management, a shrinking carbon footprint and communities that can nourish themselves. A community is formed by the members of a CSA and the farmers who produce their food. A CSA gives the farmers a sure market and a gauge to produce by, minimizing losses and ensuring the success of the farm.Nearly all CSAs are organic farms. Our three farms are all organic and two are also biodynamic.
