What is Community Supported Agriculture?
CSA brings together farmers and people in neighboring communities into a mutually beneficial and direct relationship. The Cobble Hill CSA farms, all small scale, provide sun-ripened, freshly picked, organically or otherwise sustainably grown or humanely raised produce to the CSA members via weekly delivery to a central spot in the neighborhood. In turn, the CSA community provides its farmers with a reliable and steady market throughout the season, whether the growing conditions and harvests are ideal or otherwise.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an alliance between farmers and eaters. Families and individuals who join the CSA receive a share of produce every week during the growing season (mid-May thru October). In exchange, members sign a contract for the season, agree to pay in advance, and help with some of the work of harvest and distribution of the food. Both partners share in the risks and rewards of small-scale farming: weather, insect damage, and bumper crops.
