CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture”.  Developed in 1960’s Japan, CSA programs are designed to build a relationship between the farmer and community.  Members (that’s you) buy shares in the farms output before the season starts, and then reap the benefits of the harvest each week as the season progresses.  CSA members agree to share in the fluctuation and variations inherent in farming, and understand that their produce will be grown with organic, sustainable farming practices. Members are, in essence, shareholders in the farm, thus becoming invested in its successes and failures.  This joint venture allows the farmer to receive capital before the season starts when they need it most and allows them to be in the field during the growing season instead of worrying about selling their produce.

There are other benefits to supporting local farms and CSA programs.  As consumers, we have become accustomed to buying fruits and vegetables shipped from all over the world, regardless of the season.  This is a waste of resources and energy. This also means that food is harvested before it has ripened in order to make the journey.  This long journey sacrifices the nutritional value and flavor of the produce.  By choosing locally grown food, you ensure that you are eating the freshest, most nutrient dense and best tasting food possible and being environmentally responsible at the same time.
