What is a CSA?
C.S.A. stands for Community Supported Agriculture
CSA programs provide farmers with outlets for their crops, strengthen local economies by keeping food dollars in the local community, and provide a fun way for producers and buyers to connect.
CSA members “share” in the bounty and the challenges of local farming by committing upfront to a seasonal purchase of fruits and vegetables. Farm Runners works closely with multiple small farms to plan a season of harvests. With a guarantee that they will have a market for their products, our farmer are able to invest in their land and their crops from the start of each season.
By committing to a “farmers choice” style box, CSA members get to experience new flavors and experiment in the kitchen. In turn, farmers are able to find a home for whatever is particularly abundant each week.
