CSA Farms

CSA ShareholderCSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. At a CSA farm, customers pay in advance for a share of the farm’s harvest. Then each week throughout the growing season, these CSA shareholders go to an assigned location to pick up a box of freshly harvested produce.

Shareholders benefit by getting fresh food, hand-picked by a farmer they know and trust. Farmers benefit by having guaranteed customers for their crops before the seeds even go into the ground.

Here are some of the CSA farms currently operating in the North Country:
