You + Farmer + Handshake = CSA

WHAT IS IT?

CSAs generally focus on the production of high quality foods for a local community, often using organic or biodynamic farming methods, and a shared risk membership–marketing structure. This kind of farming operates with a much greater degree of involvement of consumers and other stakeholders than usual — resulting in a stronger consumer-producer relationship.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Consumers buy "shares" in a farm's harvest in advance. The farmer commits to supply organic and safe food for the consumers, usually on a weekly basis, at an agreed price, quantity and variety.

HISTORY

CSA began in the early 1960s in Germany, Switzerland and Japan as a response to concerns about food safety and the urbanization of agricultural land. In the 1960s groups of consumers and farmers in Europe formed cooperative partnerships to fund farming and pay the full costs of ecologically sound and socially equitable agriculture.
