Community Supported Agriculture
Food is one of our basic needs; however for most of us where and how our food is grown is often overlooked. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way to bring fresh, organic produce directly from our farm to your table each week.
CSA's strive to develop an available local food supply, encourage land stewardship, and build a sense of community. CSA's began over 30 years ago in Japan when a group of women became concerned about the increasing food imports and the decreasing farm population. As a result they became committed to the local growers in their area and supported these farms directly. This group of women knew where and how their food was being grown and the farmers had a direct market for their goods. This idea came to the United States around 1985 and is being adopted slowly. Now in the U.S. there are over 1500 CSA programs..
