What is a CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership between farmers and local consumers to help maintain fresh produce that is grown locally. Members of a CSA pay a fee to a local farmer at the beginning of the season for a "share" of the produce which is often delivered to a pick up location or picked up at the farm. A share can consist of fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, eggs, poultry, and much more.
