Frequently Asked Questions...
What is a C.S.A.?
Community Supported Agriculture C.S.A. is a business model allowing a person to purchase a share of the farm's seasonal produce before the season begins.
Joining a C.S.A. is an easy and affordable way to add high quality and freshly harvested food to your meals, while strengthening the success of small local farms.
By supporting a C.S.A. you allow the farmer to focus on growing quality, nutrient dense food. When you become a C.S.A. member you are not only helping to keep local agriculture alive, you are strengthening the local economy, and supporting a community of people who are dedicated to rebuilding a sustainable food system.
