Islander Insider Tip: Community Supported Agriculture Shares!

Small Scale Farm

CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, is a program where the local farmer offers customers fresh-picked produce weekly. The customer purchases a “share” of the season’s harvest in advance. Essentially, the customer is buying a “share” of the produce and then the farmer provides the shareholder with farm fresh, locally grown produce for a certain period of time. A full share typically provides a week’s worth of vegetables for a family of four.
