Community Supported Agriculture farms sell advance shares of food to members who pay at the beginning of the season and receive produce weekly throughout the summer growing season. Some of these farms also offer winter or spring shares, and some also sell items directly to the public during the winter and early spring months, either at farmers markets or direct from the farm.
