VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR
CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture,” and is not only an amazing way to support your health with more nutrient dense produce, but is a wonderful way to vote with your dollar for local, sustainable, and environmentally considerate agriculture. CSA members are invited to share in the joys, and the risks of small scale agriculture, which allows them to connect deeply with their farmers and the earth where their food is grown.
