Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a commitment between farmers and customers. Farmers offer "shares" of their produce and meats, and customers offer financial support in exchange. Typically, customers purchase their share a few months before receiving any product. This provides the farmers with a financial boost in the off-season and allows them to plan their crops accordingly. During the growing season, the farmers provide CSA members with a share of the weekly harvest.
The details for each CSA are different: Some offer full and half-shares, some offer working shares (you get to help pick your produce), and some partner with other local food producers to supplement their own offerings. It's good to ask the farmers for details so you can find the best fit for your household.
