4. Is Farmer's Garden similar to a CSA?

Yes, we are.  What is a CSA? Community Supported Agriculture or CSA is an approach to focus on local production of high quality foods using ecological or organic farming methods. A main aspect in the CSA design is the development of a commited consumer group that is willing to participate with the farmer's production in order to get quality foods.  

Today many CSA's are a cooperative of produce from several growers. This expands the variety of available produce for your box.  Read more about CSA.
