Stumbled across this the other day, and there’s at least one member of the audience who will find it interesting. It’s the SFU: Local Food Project, and one of the things they talk about is Community Supported Agriculture.
C.S.A. stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA’s are a commitment between a farm and a community of supporters. Supports pay up for their share of the harvest at the beginning of the season, so farmers have a source of income at their time of highest expenses. The farm provides the supporters with fresh high quality produce throughout the season, usually in a weekly box.
They have a nice list of different CSA related organizations: http://sfulocalfood.ca/resources/where-to-get-local/community-supported-agriculture
Who knows you might even find the rest of the site interesting too.
