Community Shared Agriculture

Buying from a CSA is a great way to get fresh, locally grown food.

Growing food for the marketplace can be a risky undertaking. In the traditional farming model, the farmer takes all the risks and if the crops fail, for whatever reason, it is the grower who suffers most. If the financial damage experienced by the crops failing is severe enough, the farmer may go out of business. This can have repercussions throughout the community which the farm serves.
