find out what community supported agriculture (csa) is and why this new farming model is the answer to growing better food, reducing waste, creating connection and overall building a foundation for a more sustainable future.
becoming a member of a csa (community supported agriculture) farm is like joining a family.
typically, members of the farm purchase a share in advance, committing to the farm for the season and helping cover the initial annual costs of the farm operation. in return, members receive boxes of the farm’s produce or products throughout the growing season, as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and being more knowledgeable of local food production.
the star of this video — alex — has had the opportunity to attend dances, facilitate a weekly cooking club and volunteer in low income communities. like alex, ask yourself what you can do to make a difference! ask yourself how you can get involved in this movement!
do you know where your food is coming from? do you know how it grows?
farmers are the ones who grow the food that that give us life. if we each took the time to start caring about our relationship as buyers and growers, the world could be a much better place.
