What is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farm?
- CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a way for the food buying public to create a relationship with a farm and receive a weekly basket of produce. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become "members" or "shareholders" of the CSA, you place your food dollars directly in the hands of a family farm.
