CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. This idea is relatively new to the US and came about in the 1980's. The concept of CSA is that members of the "community" commit their support to the farmer for the duration of the growing season and in return, the farmer provides those members of the community with the products grown to the best of his ability.

Members will pay a certain amount up front, and will then receive a weekly basket/share containing a variety of produce. Members should understand that the growing season in Kentucky is ever changing; therefore, the products may change weekly as well. By becoming a CSA member, the customer will be reaping the benefits of the growing season, but will also have risk, as the farmer does, due to weather and any other obstacles that may occur. The CSA allows people to feel a real connection to their local farmers and the land they operate on. Therefore, CSA members will be receiving healthy, fresh, and local farm products weekly, while also knowing the people and the farm they are supporting.

    

How it Works ...

CSA Members can expect to receive a weekly basket/share of that weeks harvest for 20 weeks. The produce will vary from week to week. The members will pay a fee up front to hold their share because shares are limited. If a member would like, they may pay the full amount at the beginning. Otherwise, they can pay the remainder of the balance over time, but all members must be paid in full by May 22th, 2010.

Full Shares - designed for a family of 4-6 people costs $450.00 for the season (20 wks).
Half Shares - designed for a family of 2-3 people costs $275.00 for the season (20 wks).
