Community supported agriculture in Alberta

Description

Presents information on the growing movement of Community Supported Agriculture or Community Shared Agriculture (CSA). A CSA is a community of individuals or families who support a chosen farm and its family. Each individual or family purchases, in advance, a share, called a subscription, of the year’s crop. Thus, the customers become virtual partners or ‘co-producers’ in the farm, sharing risk and reward with the farm family. Throughout the growing season, each week subscribing member receives equal shares of the freshly harvested food from the farmer.
