What is CSA?
CSA is an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture. As a CSA member, you pick up your freshly harvested produce each week. It’s like hiring your own personal farmer!
Community-supported agriculture
(CSA) is a socio-economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes the community’s farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production. CSA’s focus is usually on a system of weekly delivery or pick-up of vegetables and fruit, sometimes dairy products and meat. The term CSA is mostly used in the USA, but a variety of similar production and economic sub-systems are in use worldwide.
