Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Did you know that a tomato usually travels about 1,300 miles from where it is
grown to your salad bowl? Consider an alternative. Join a CSA farm, and join
thousands of others who want to support local farmers while receiving
delicious, healthy and, above all, fresh produce all season long. With your
subscription, you purchase a “share” of the produce harvest, or a weekly
portion from someone you come to know and trust. Some farms also offer fruit,
herbs, flowers and other products.

products in your area, click on the name of your state or country below. If
you don't find what you are looking for, search adjacent regions. An
increasing number of grassfarmers are shipping their products across the
country, so you may find that leg of lamb or wedge of cheddar cheese in a
distant state.
