Community Supported Agriculture

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

You, as a community member, help support a farmer’s planting. You pay a certain amount to a farmer and in return you get a share of produce, usually once a week, during the growing season.

Each share gives you produce that is fresh from the garden, and ready to eat the day of your pick up. The produce in each week’s share varies on the time of year and what is growing. Common items include:

• Squash
• Tomatoes
• Carrots
• Peppers
• Green beans
• Herbs
• Onions
• Greens (spinach, kale, lettuce, chard)
• Cucumbers

There are half shares and full shares.

• Half shares: usually give you 4-5 different items and often fill a typical grocery sack.
• Full shares usually give you 6-8 different items and can often fill two typical grocery sacks.

If you want the variety of a full share, but don’t need the quantity, consider splitting a full share with a coworker or friend.

You can also consider purchasing any sized share with a friend, roommate, neighbor, or coworker and alternating the weeks each of you pick up the share.

The price varies on the size of the share and how many weeks you get a share. Check out the Global Gardens website for CSA pricing.
