CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs allow individuals and households the opportunity to participate in the success of an area farm by pledging to support its operations through produce subscriptions. Typically running from late spring through fall, shareholders receive a weekly allotment of freshly harvested fruits, vegetables, and herbs, with some programs also extending eggs, dairy, meats, honey, baked goods, or other possible add-ons. Specifics vary from one farm to another, with some offering biweekly options or multiple size packages.
