What is Community Supported Agriculture?

Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a system, currently in use by over 1,200 farms in the U.S. which helps sustain small farms, builds community and gives people a connection to their food source. CSAs offer food that is fresh, nutritious, affordable and chemical-free.

Families and individuals become CSA members by providing an annual financial commitment to cover the farm's costs. In return, they receive a weekly selection of the farm's produce. Members share the risks and rewards of farming, such as weather, pests and bumper crops.

CSA brings together community members and farmers in a relationship of mutual support that ensures the survival of local agriculture.
