About community support agriculture
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is a concept developed by Rudolf Steiner in the early 1900’s as a way for society to work collaboratively in regards to agriculture. The concept strives to weave farmers, distribution channels, and citizens together in a collective effort where every group has a responsibility, and risk, associated with the work of bringing sustainable agriculture products into the world.
Farmers who offer a CSA are selling a share of their harvest upfront. When they harvest from their fields, they set aside the first crops for the people who purchase a CSA share before they take their products to other markets. This allows farmers to collect money from their community at a time when they need to make purchases for the season (seeds, irrigation, hoop houses, etc), and it gives community members the freshest harvest available that is grown locally in their own communities. Environmentally, this reduces transportation pollution, energy usage from extended cooling, chemical and pesticides, while increasing vase life of flowers and diversity in the market. And socially, CSA's offer an opportunity for people to build relationships within their communities, and they allow new farmers to sell smaller quantities when they are just starting their farms. Being part of a CSA invites everyone to love the land, its changing seasons, and the beauty it offers. We hope you will considering joining ours.
