What is Community
Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture or CSA is like having
your own personal farmer. In a CSA, you become a member of a local farm
by purchasing a “share” in that farm. In return, you receive weekly
pick-up of fresh produce throughout the growing season, typically
mid-June to November. Many of the Wisconsin CSAs start much earlier
w/spring crops - lettuces, spinach, peas etc. and do have produce
earlier, but our specialty is in other products listed elsewhere in this
brochure. This economic arrangement benefits farmers because they have
improved cash flow in the beginning of the year. It also guarantees a
market for their products. This arrangement benefits members because
they receive fresh products, delivered conveniently to a drop-site near
by. This arrangement benefits the entire community by keeping local
farms and jobs viable and securing a healthy food supply.
