WITH A CSA (COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE), CONSUMERS PAY FOR A SHARE OF THE CROPS BEFORE PLANTING SEASON AND EVERY WEEK THE SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVE FRESH FOOD BOXES FROM THE LOCAL FARMS BASED ON WHAT IS HARVESTED. SHAREHOLDERS OR MEMBERS USUALLY PICK UP THEIR BOXES FROM A DROP- SITE OR FROM THE FARM ITSELF.

A TYPICAL CSA vegetable share provides approximately a paper bag full of local, seasonal pro- duce, mostly vegetables, every week (or every two weeks) from June to October.
Newsletters are usually pro- vided and include recipes and a weekly report on activities on the farm.
Many CSAs also offer fall shares as well as eggs, beef, chicken and/or pork.
Worker shares are sometimes available and some CSAs are members of FairShare CSA Coalition’s Partner Shares program that helps low-income households afford a CSA share.
