Description

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is like a subscription service for local produce. The consumer directly pays a local farmer ahead of time for a weekly delivery of fresh fruits, veggies, etc. The weekly delivery takes place at a predetermined time and location every week.

We are a group of people interested in solving the social problems surrounding food and some of the benefits of utilizing a CSA are:

-Locally produced food (which eliminates many tons of greenhouse emissions, in addition to other benefits)
- Most CSA's are organic or nearly so (including Crooked Sky, 100% organic) eliminating pesticide use, agricultural runoff and producing healthier food
- Everything is extremely fresh and tasty
- Much cheaper than getting something equivalent at a store like Whole Foods, etc.
- The farmer(s) receive a living wage and the community shares in crop losses or windfalls
- The money stays in the local economy
- You get exposed to new types and varieties of produce
- No shopping... the veggies are delivered
