North Shore CSA Resource Guide
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), provides an opportunity to purchase direct shares of local, seasonal produce (meats/seafood) from local farmers. In participating in a CSA, you receive fresh, weekly harvests, and also play a crucial role in a farm's ongoing success and sustainability. Although many CSAs won’t begin their harvest until late spring, many are open for share reservation.Many grocery stores offer produce that is labled "local".

Please support our efforts to increase locally grown foods by asking store managers to offer more availability, including North Shore grown/raised/produced options.
