CSA

A CSA is community supported agriculture. The farmer sells shares to customers and they receive produce once a week in return. The farmer gets a boost of money in the spring from the customers when they really need it. The benefits for the customer are they get locally grown food and they form a relationship with their food and the farmer. It is cheaper than going to the grocery store and it offers food security. My friend Jessica introduced me to CSA's. She gets her box of produce and a chicken once a month. She got me thinking of joining her CSA and I will suggest it to my mom. This is a great idea and it allows the consumer to have more control.
