Community-Supported Agriculture

Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system where consumers buy shares or memberships from a local farm. In return, they receive a portion of the farm's produce regularly, usually weekly or bi-weekly throughout the growing season. This arrangement creates a direct connection between consumers and local farmers, offering fresh, seasonal produce while supporting sustainable and often organic farming practices. CSAs foster a sense of community, promote local agriculture, and allow members to engage more closely with where their food comes from.
