Community Supported Agriculture
A CSA allows individuals to pledge financial support to a farm early in the growing season in exchange for a weekly share of the farm's produce. The CSA share usually consists of a weekly delivery or pick-up of vegetables and fruit in a vegetable box scheme, sometimes including other items. This is the perfect way to eat fresh, seasonal produce while supporting a local farm.
