Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Pilot
CSAs are programs in which an individual pays a farm for a membership that entitles them to a "share" of the farm's harvest - commonly a set quantity of raw foods made available to the member for pick-up on a periodic (typically weekly) basis. Since many CSA farmers are also vendors at farmer's markets, the markets may serve as a pick-up point.
