CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture)

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system where consumers buy shares or subscriptions directly from local farmers upfront, usually for a season. In return, they receive regular deliveries or pickups of fresh, seasonal produce and sometimes other farm products. This approach fosters a direct connection between growers and consumers, providing farmers with financial support early in the season and offering consumers access to farm-fresh food. CSAs promote sustainability, local economies, and transparency, allowing members to enjoy high-quality, fresh foods while supporting environmentally responsible farming practices.
