CSA: Real Food Farm

What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a regular delivery of produce grown by your local farmer. Farmers count on CSAs to provide dependable funding during the growing season (they're buying compost, seeds, soil amendments, greenhouse equipment, landscape fabric, etc.). CSAs are also a way to keep customers engaged throughout the growing season. As for customers, CSAs are a way to: 1. Meet the people that grow their food, 2. Learn about local growing practices, 3. Support local business and local food, 4. Support sustainable food, 5. Learn about foods they haven?t tried before, 6. Get the freshest foods they could find in their neighborhood.
