COMMUNITY SHARED AGRICULTURE (CSA)
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture is a way to connect farmers with those who eat the foods they grow. Typically, a farmer will offer a certain number of shares and in exchange for the purchase of shares, members of the public gain access to the food harvested. This typically comes in the form of a weekly veggie box but can take other forms.
A concept embedded in Community Supported Agriculture is the idea that farmers never know what Mother Nature has in store in a given year. Different crops will produce to varying degrees, and there is always the risk that some crops will suffer as a result of less than ideal growing conditions or unwanted pests. Being a shareholder in a CSA means riding out the highs and lows inherent to agriculture.
