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.
