Community Support Agriculture (CSA)

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a direct partnership between local farmers and consumers, where members buy a share of the farm's harvest upfront. This means customers pay at the beginning of the season, supporting farmers financially and sharing in the risks and rewards of farming. In return, members receive regular deliveries of fresh, locally-grown produce throughout the harvest season. CSA fosters a closer connection between consumers and food production, promotes sustainability, and helps support local economies. It encourages seasonal eating and provides access to farm-fresh foods while strengthening community farming initiatives.
