What is a CSA?
What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farming model that involves a direct partnership between consumers and local farmers. In a CSA, individuals or families become members of a farm by purchasing a share of the farm's harvest in advance. In return, members receive a regular supply of fresh, locally grown garlic throughout the season. Learn More Here (Showtiss Farms)
The CSA member's investment before the beginning of the season directly supports the farm by providing much-needed capital for the anticipated costs of seeds, supplies, etc. at a time when the farm needs it most. By signing up for a share of the seasons harvest, the potential bounty and the potential risk, which are an inherent part of farming, are shared with the farmers and CSA members.
