What's a CSA?

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) connects the producer and consumers within the food system more closely by allowing the consumer to subscribe to the harvest of a certain farm.

5 REASONS TO JOIN A CSA

 

1. You’re supporting your local community

 

It’s no secret that many of our local agricultural producers are being pushed out by larger scale, commercial farmers. The best way to show your support is to put your money where your mouth is… literally.

2. It encourages more fruit and vegetable consumption

 

You pretty much have no excuse to not eat your veggies when they’re showing up on your doorstep each week. We love fruits and veggies around here, but if they’re not in the house we’re less likely to eat them. No more excuses now!

3. You get to experiment with different types of produce

 

We understand how easy it is to get stuck in a produce rut and eat the same things over and over again. Having someone else pick things for you (or at least the option of having them choose for you) encourages you to try things you normally wouldn’t pick. Without a CSA, you may never discover how much you love certain produce!

4. You’re eating in season

 

Our bodies aren’t designed to eat the same things year round. There’s a reason we eat strawberries in the summer and warming squash in the winter. CSAs are only able to sell what they’re able to grow, so what you get will be the freshest of what’s in season.

5. It saves you money

 

Buying directly from farmers cuts out the middleman and transportation costs which helps you save money. It also ensures less food waste because the CSA sends you enough for how many you order for. For example, if you get just enough for two people, you're likely to polish it all off each week.
