Community Supported Agriculture

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a collaborative model connecting consumers directly with local farmers. In a CSA, individuals or families purchase a share of the farm's harvest in advance, which provides the farmer with upfront capital and helps cover costs. In return, members receive fresh, seasonal produce throughout the growing season, usually on a weekly basis. This arrangement fosters a sense of community, supports local agriculture, and promotes sustainable farming practices. Members can enjoy high-quality, locally grown food while knowing their investment directly benefits the farmer and the environment.
