Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is when the community buys shares from their local farmer. Our shares consist of potted plants in the Spring; fruits and vegetables from June to October; and cut flowers. Being involoved in a CSA allows the community to directly interact with the farmer and see where their food is being grown. Having a share in your local farm means you take risks along with the farmer: On a good week you will recieve extra produce (What we call the Surplus section) but on a bad week due to weather or pests, there may be less produce. If we are having a bad week we will try to subsitute in produce from another local farmer.
