The Gardens at Shepherds College CSA Member Agreement 2022Csa Member Agreement • March 7th, 2022
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. CSA is a means of providing fresh, high quality produce to “members” who purchase a “share” of the harvest from a local farmer. Prior to the onset of the growing season, CSA members pay up front to help cover the cost of growing produce. Once harvesting begins, members receive their weekly “share” of the harvest. Members benefit from receiving locally grown produce, picked fresh when it is most flavorful and highest in nutrients, with no seasonal market price fluctuations. The farmer benefits by planting produce according to a known number of CSA members.
