Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a form of an alternative food network, a socio-economic model of agriculture and food distribution. A CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farming operation where the growers and consumers share the risks and benefits of food production. CSAs usually offer a system of weekly delivery or pick-up of vegetables.
Advantages for consumers include eating ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits; getting exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking; developing a relationship with the farmer who grows their food; and learning more about how food is grown.
