What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a food subscription model that directly links individuals/households with local producers. It provides growers like us with upfront capital in return for a regular share of the harvest throughout the growing season. Produce is pickup up at the farm, or delivered to your front door.
