CSAs
CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is the term used to define a unique partnership between local farmers and community members. The “partnership” works like this: community members pay a local farmer a “membership” or “subscription” fee, which the farmer then uses to buy seeds and other supplies. In return, you receive a weekly box/bag/basket filled with that farmers' harvest during the local growing season. The great thing about being a part of a CSA is that you have the ability to try new foods that you might not usually pick up in the grocery store. Not to mention you’re supporting your local area farmers by providing them with funds up front to purchase the supplies necessary to plant, cultivate and harvest their produce throughout the season. Belonging to a CSA is a positive experience for both the consumer and the farmer. Subscribe to a CSA: Veggies By The Sea, Supply, NC.
