CVG Airport Authority is in its third year of offering CSA shares as a health benefit. 20 vouchers will be available in 2024 to employees interested in signing up for a weekly vegetable share. Each employee who receives a voucher will be able to apply $200 towards a weekly farm share and conveniently pick it up at CVG Centre on Wednesdays starting at 11:00 from May to October.

What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?

​

A local produce subscription where members receive weekly deliveries of seasonal vegetables and some fruits for 20-22 weeks during the main growing season (May - October).

​

A model of buying food that is focused on community where a participant pays in advance for a share and then becomes a important member of the farm for the whole season.

​

A weekly box or basket of fresh, KY Proud, and certified organic vegetables. The items in a share are harvested at their peak ripeness and will often store longer and have more flavor than other produce.

​

What are the Benefits of CSA?

​

  • Easy access to healthy fresh food and the opportunity to try new foods.

  • Convenience -- pick up your share at work or on the way home.

  • Know your farmer that grows your food. Receive regular newsletters and useful recipes.

  • Reap the health benefits of increasing vegetable consumption throughout the season.

  • Keep more food dollars local.

  • 100% USDA certified organic produce. All coalition farms are certified organic.
