CSA|FARM SHARES
Community Supported Agriculture shares (CSA or Farm Shares)
are partnerships between growers and “share-holders” (CSA members).
CSA members pre-purchase food shares from the farmer providing financial support in the spring,
when it counts the most, before the growing season begins.
In exchange, CSA members receive high-quality, freshly harvested produce
while supporting the preservation of sustainable, local, community-based agriculture.
Additionally, members get to experience “eating seasonally” and the
natural rhythms of the growing season.
