What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture is a direct partnership between the consumer and the farmer. CSA members pay in advance for a share of the upcoming harvest and are ensured high-quality local produce, and the farmer is ensured a consistent market. Produce is harvested from the farm and delivered to our members' neighborhoods all on the same day. What is Community Supported Agriculture?

This farm offers a membership which allows members to receive a weekly or biweekly share of seasonal organic vegetables, fruits and herbs. Each week a member receives a half-bushel box (see last weeks box above picture) of 8-12 different organic produce. JBG says that one box is usually sufficient for a family of four. Members also receive a weekly newsletter with recipes and details about how to store and handle your produce. Looking forward to trying the new recipes!
This is the part I really like, if the member picks up their box at the farmer's market they can switch out produce from their box for different produce. Can't make the farmer's market on Saturday? No problem!!! JBG has pick up sites all around the city. This link has the pick up sites and schedule.

This program, Community Supported Agriculture, offers the farm a "consistent market" and provides the member with a discount. A four week minimum is required and cost $32 per week for a total of $128. There is an additional $2 per week discount for a 10 week commitment. That is just $30 a week for all your organic produce! I'm wondering if we need 2 boxes but I'll start with one and let you know. Free range eggs and organic fair-trade coffee are available for $10 more per week. I have found a better deal on eggs at the farmers market. Here is a link to join the farm.
