CSA<br />

Joining a CSA (or<br />

Community Supported<br />

Agriculture) program<br />

connects you directly<br />

with local farms in your<br />

community. Members buy<br />

a “share” of a farm’s harvest<br />

upfront and receive a<br />

weekly box of fresh produce<br />

or other farm goods. With<br />

that commitment early on,<br />

the farmer is able to invest<br />

in the growing season.<br />

Traditionally, CSAs were<br />

centered around produce,<br />

but you can also find<br />

specialty CSAs for meats,<br />

flowers, and more. As CSAs<br />

have grown in availability<br />

and popularity, different<br />

models have developed,<br />

often allowing you to<br />

customize what’s in your<br />

box, how much food you<br />

get, or how you pay for it.<br />

Browse CSAs by products<br />

and season extension<br />

options (i.e., a fall or winter<br />

season) in these charts,<br />

and find more details at<br />
