CSA
What is a CSA program?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Community Supported Agriculture is a concept developed in the early 1980’s by individuals who wanted to bridge the gap between the overworked, underpaid “organic” movement, and industrial agriculture. A CSA enables members to pledge their support to a farm and in exchange receive a share of the bounty throughout the growing season.
