CSA members make a commitment to support the farm throughout the season, and assume the risks and bounty of growing food along with the farmer or grower. Each CSA farm offers shares to the public for a fixed fee before the season begins. CSA members register and pay, then pick up their weekly shares at a pre-determined location on a set date and time Questions?
