CSA Farms

Farms which run on the community-supported agriculture (CSA) model essentially allow consumers to buy a share of their production for a specified period of time. A customer pays a set price for a predetermined amount of produce; they may get one grocery bag full of seasonal offerings every week or month, for example.










CSAs often offer more diversity than supermarkets, and may include recipes or cooking tips for unusual vegetables. They may offer varieties which taste better but would not hold up to the shipping and storage requirements of industrial agriculture. These local farms are also better for the environment and for farm workers, lessening or eliminating transportation costs and environmental hazards inherent in larger, more remote conventional operations.
