What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
Historically, CSA (brought to this country in the mid-80’s) was established to more directly connect farmers and consumers; get money up front to farmers when they really need it; get consumers the freshest possible produce; and take a little bit of the risk out of farming with a guaranteed market. The farmers at MHOF have been running a CSA since 1992 on the farm.
