Food Access: Weekly Produce Boxes

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

CSA is a connection between a local farmer and the people who eat the food the farm produces. The essence of the relationship is the mutual commitment: The farm supplies families and individuals with fresh, local organic produce and the people support the farm and share the inherent risks and potential bounty. CSA allows people to rediscover and participate in a system of food production and distribution that promotes healthy living, nurtures the environment, and brings people together to share the simple pleasure of living life in harmony with nature.
