Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a form of food production and distribution whereby a group of individuals pledges support to a farm operation thereby providing working capital to the farmer and sharing the risks and benefits of food production. A CSA provides a mutually beneficial arrangement between farmers and consumers. People generally join by purchasing directly from a CSA farmer a "share" of produce pre-season, then pick up their weekly produce from a central drop point in their area during the harvest season. Generally, the farmer benefits by having a steady clientel, and the consumer benefits by having a steady, reliable food source. Consumers also benefit by knowing where produce comes from and having a direct relationship with the farmer. Produce distribution may be by delivery or pick-up.
