Do you know what CSA is?

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs directly link local residents and
nearby farmers, eliminating "the middleman" and increasing the benefits to both the
farmer and the consumer. In a CSA program, a farmer grows food for a group of local
residents (called "shareholders" or "subscribers") who commit at the beginning of each
year to purchase part of that farm's crop. The shareholders thus directly support a local
farm and receive a low-cost weekly or monthly supply of fresh, high-quality produce.
The farmers receive an initial cash investment to finance their operation and a higher
percentage of each crop dollar because of direct delivery. Both parties jointly share the
benefits and risks.
