Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relatively new concept in the United States that has really taken off. There are well over 1000 CSA farms now operating here. It all started with just one, back in 1986.

The idea is simple. Members of the community buy a "share" in a local farm for one season. Shares are paid for in advance -usually by sometime in May, and the members then get access to a portion of the farmers harvest from June into November.

Great tasting vegetables at a price well below retail are only the most obvious benefits to being a CSA member. Because you are buying directly from the farmer, we can choose vegetable varieties for taste, rather than how they ship, pack, and look on store shelves.

Choosing to eat fresh, seasonal, vegetables contributes to good health and plays an important role in the local, rural economy -helping to keep small farms small farms -not small subdivisions.

Your entire food dollar goes directly to the farmer, and is not divided between fuel companies, freight lines and large produce distributors. You will see the difference this makes starting with your first distributions!
