The most basic answer to the question 'What is Community Supported Agriculture?' is that of eaters supporting growers in the most direct way possible. Members of a farm's CSA pay up-front ahead of the season when farmers are most in need of money for seed, supplies and equipment. In return eaters are guaranteed a share of the farm's harvest. The CSA community is one of shared risk and shared reward, empowering both consumers with the knowledge of where their food comes from and farmers with a more secure market for the fruits (and vegetables, leaves & shoots) of their hard work.
