What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, a practice that started in the 1960s and 1970s in Japan. In Japan, the idea of “teikei” (“partnership” or “putting the farmer’s face on food”) emerged as a response to food safety concerns. The movement started in the United States in the 1980s and is now widely practiced worldwide.
So what is it? A CSA is a direct partnership between farmers and consumers, where members invest in a local farm by purchasing a ‘share’ of the season’s harvest upfront. In return, they receive regular deliveries or pickups of fresh, seasonal produce, and sometimes other farm goods like eggs, dairy, or meat.
