Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms offer a great way to get local organic vegetables for your family, support local farmers, support sustainable farming practices, protect local farmland, reconnect with the land and begin to rebuild our local food system. CSA farms operate by selling shares of their seasonal harvest. A share provides members with a weekly portion of what the farm produces — typically enough for a family of four. If you join a CSA close to home you will also enjoy the added benefit of weekly farm visits, where you can pick up your produce directly from the farmers, walk the land, meet your neighbors and let your kids experience where their food comes from.
