  Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
CSA offers the opportunity for you to reconnect with rhythms of nature by eating produce when it is in season.
CSA is not about cheap food which is usually neither nourishing nor grown with care of the environment in mind.
CSA members are interested in MORE than vegetables – they like to know they are working with a professional grower who shares their environmental and social concerns – and they are interested in their fellow share-holders.

 Defining Community Supported Agriculture
The CSA concept originated in the 1960s in Switzerland and Japan, where consumers interested in safe food and farmers seeking stable markets for their crops joined together in economic partnerships.
Each CSA is structured to meet the needs of the participants, so many variations exist, including the level of financial commitment and active participation by the shareholders; financing, land ownership, and legal form of the farm operation; and details of payment plans and food distribution systems.
CSA is sometimes known as "subscription farming," and the two terms have been used on occasion to convey the same basic principles.

 Community Supported Agriculture
The original idea of CSA was to re-establish a sense of connection to the land for urban dwellers and to foster a strong sense of community and cooperation with a decided social justice goal to provide food security for disadvantaged groups.
Kolodinsky and Pelch (11) found the likelihood of membership in a CSA to be highly correlated with food shoppers who have a high degree of education, who buy organic, and who consider political/economic/social factors in choosing their off-season (winter) produce venue.
Likelihood of CSA membership was negatively correlated with the presence of children or teens in a family, having adequate storage space for canned or frozen foods (presumably lessening the need for fresh produce every week), and lower educational attainment.
