Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Growing food locally for a resilient future
Community-supported agriculture (CSA) connects farmers directly with consumers, providing fresh, seasonal food while strengthening the local food system. CSAs help small farms thrive, reduce food miles, and create a stronger connection between people and the land.
Conservation districts support local farms with soil health strategies, water conservation techniques, and sustainable farming practices to help growers maintain productive, environmentally friendly operations.
How to Support Community Agriculture:
- Join a CSA to receive fresh, local food directly from farmers.
- Start or participate in a community garden.
- Choose regenerative farming practices for long-term sustainability.
