CSA: Community Supported Agriculture

Community supported agriculture is a great way to support local farmers and get your food straight from the source to your table. Most CSA's are a pledge or donation direct to the farmer for a stake in the farm's harvest for the year or season. This cuts out the "middle man" that up the price of the produce once it is in the market.

What Members get?
