What is a csa ?
A CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is made up of two entities: the community and the farmer. The consumer purchases a "share" or a membership at the beginning of growing season. The share consists of a bag of fresh seasonal produce which is picked up each week at the farm stand.
