CLOSED - Sorry we are no longer offering CSA memberships. What the heck is a CSA? - Community Supported Agriculture. They've been around a long time and in today’s climate of savvy consumers they are making a resurgence. Basically a farmer offers a specific number of shares to the public. A share usually consists of a combination of produce / fruit / berries / flowers / eggs / meat depending on what the farm produces. The consumer shares in the rewards and risks of farming: there are bumper crop years and lean years. Often the consumer will also get to share in the labor a few hours a month. This allows families to be a part of where their food comes from and provides valuable teaching opportunities to their children. Fresh local food on your table is beneficial to you, your health and your environment.
