CSA
CSA stands for “community supported agriculture” in which members of the community purchase shares in a local farm. In return, members receive a weekly box of fresh vegetables (or other products, depending on the type of farm) throughout the growing season. This model has been used by many small farms to ensure their viability and vitality in providing local communities fresh, nutrient-dense produce. It also provides members a direct connection to the farmer, thereby promoting an understanding of the growing practices involved. Having access to a local food source ensures the freshest food while fostering less reliance on food systems (e.g., grocery stores) utilizing shipping over large distances.
