What is a CSA Box?

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. What is Community Supported Agriculture? When you join a CSA, you make an investment in local farms! 

How? By joining a CSA, you buy shares of a farm’s harvest in advance by paying a few hundred dollars to join at the start of the growing season. This cost will vary by farm, but it is generally around 400- 800 dollars to join.

In return, you receive a weekly box of freshly grown produce! Some CSA subscriptions even offer meat, eggs, flowers, and fresh herbs depending on the farm. Each week is a surprise, because what you get all depends on what is ready to harvest at that time.
