| Community Shared Agriculture or "C.S.A"Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) is a rapidly emerging alternative to conventional food marketing that creates a direct relationship between the consumer and the farm. CSA is a local food system based on direct links between growers and eaters, establishing a personal connection and mutual loyalty which is lacking in the lives of many; the direct opposite of the global marketplace touted by many these days. Grower and eater enter into a business relationship built on trust, human relationship and mutual interest. CSA contradicts the cheap food mentality of the corporate marketplace with the realization that quality food is a valuable gift the enriches the lives of those who consume it. Families & Individuals receive a weekly box of fresh, sustainably grown, seasonal produce at a better-than-retail price! CSA's allow growers to focus on land stewardship and maintain productive & profitable small farms, while at the same time meeting the needs of the community. Subscribers have a rare and special opportunity to connect in a meaningful way with others who care about the food they eat & how it's grown. How Subscription Works A vegetable box suitable for 1-3 people, depending on diet are given to the subscribers. Multiple boxes are available for larger families. Contents vary seasonally. You may choose between farm pick-up, home delivery, or designated drop-off sites. Home delivery and drop-off sites are too provided by the growers.
