Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Community Supported Agriculture programs are designed to build a relationship between the farmer and the community. Members buy a share that assists the farmer in production costs and in return members receive a weekly portion of the harvest. CSA portions vary according to the season and the success of each crop.
