CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a wonderful way to connect with local farms and enjoy fresh, seasonal produce. Let me explain how it works:
What is CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
It represents a shared commitment between community members, consumers, farmers, and the land.
When you join a CSA, you become a CSA member or Farm Share member.
As a member, you get to take home a portion of the farm’s harvest regularly.
These regular veggie pick-ups are called your Farm Share or CSA share.
CSA encourages eating seasonally, as the variety of vegetables shifts from month to month based on what grows during that season.
How Does CSA Work?
CSA members commit to the farm for the season, providing farmers with secure income during high-expense periods.
In return, farmers commit to providing shareholders with a season-long bounty of vegetables, fresh from the farm.
The direct connection between farmer and consumer bypasses middlepersons, strengthens the farm operation, and benefits the environment by reducing packaging and pollution.
CSA shares include a variety of produce, such as salad greens, cooking greens, roots, alliums (onions/scallions/garlic), and fruits (cucumbers/squash/tomatoes/peppers) as they become ready for harvest.
It’s exciting to witness the changing seasons reflected on your kitchen table!
