Community Supported Agriculture is a program where a farm (or group of farms) trades their bounty directly with the people who sign up for “shares.” For example, I would pay $350 for a year, and every week from May to September, the farm sends out my share of whatever is in season. Normally, there are dropoff points where share-owners will come pick up their share at a nearby location.
This form of farming is the best way to ensure you know where your food comes from (aside from if you grow your own food).
I volunteered early this summer on the Organic Farm “Garden of Eve” in Riverhead.
