What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
​
A local food subscription where members receive regular deliveries of seasonal produce (vegetables and some fruits) or meats for 24 weeks during the main growing season (May - October).
​
A model of buying food focused on building community. A participant pays for a share in advance and becomes an important part of the farm for the whole season.
​
A farm box or basket of in-season items grown by Kentucky farmers. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness to maximize their flavor and quality.
