Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system where local farmers and consumers work together to grow and share fresh produce. In this arrangement, individuals or families buy a share of the farm's harvest at the beginning of the season. This upfront payment helps farmers cover their costs and ensures that they have a steady market for their crops. In return, members receive a weekly box of seasonal fruits and vegetables, often picked just hours before delivery. This not only supports local agriculture but also fosters a connection between consumers and the land, promoting healthier eating and a sense of community.
