Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): An Overview
Photo of Farmer Holding Produce

CSAs are a way to support local farmers and receive fresh produce. Essentially, you locate a farmer who participates in a CSA program, sign up and pay a fee, and receive deliveries of whatever is fresh and seasonal at that farm.

To find and join a CSA, or to learn more about why working directly with local farmers is helpful to your community and the environment, please visit the following websites listed below.
