CSA Box June 24. Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a food production and distribution system that directly connects farmers and consumers. In short: people buy shares of a farm's harvest in advance and then receive a portion of the crops as they're harvested. The term CSA is also used to refer to an individual farm's CSA program.
The added benefit of the CSA model is that it helps the farmer get access to capital to invest into the farm. In todayâs world, it is quite difficult for small-holder farmers to obtain loans to grow food for the local market. By purchasing a CSA share at the beginning of the season, you are helping the farmer cover some of the early season expenses.
