Jones Family Farm Meat CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) |
What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? Community Supported Agriculture is a community of individuals who pledge support to a local farm in return for safe, healthy, and locally grown food. By pledging to support the farmer at the beginning of the growing season, CSA members share in the risk of production and relieve the farmer of much needed time for marketing their product. This allows the farmer to concentrate on good land stewardship and growing high quality food. |
