CSA Information

 

CSA or Community Supported Agriculture; is a system that connects a farmer and consumer more closely by allowing customers to subscribe to the harvest of the farm, guaranteeing them a share of the season’s harvest and the farmer with the much needed capital for seeds, labour, soil amendments, irrigation and so on to get the farm up and running in the spring. This enables the farmer to grow food for their community without going deep into debt at the beginning of every year. It also allows for the whole community, farmer and food lover, to share in the risks and rewards of the harvest. If it is a difficult growing season there may be less variety or abundance, yet if things go well the subscribers benefit accordingly.

 

The CSA program is just one of the many ways customers who value knowing exactly where their food comes from can support a farmer.
