CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. The farmers sells a certain
number of "shares", investment amounts, into the future harvest of the farm.
The share prices are generally paid at the beginning of the season so the
farmer can have the financing he needs to buy the seed to plant. As the
harvest comes off, it's divided between the "shareholders".
This is a very simplified explanation, and the concept has as many variables
as there are farms using this business model. It's really a win-win
situation for the farmers and consumers.
