Thinking and buying local is quickly moving from a novel idea to a mainstream activity. In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of a Chelsea Green classic, authors Henderson and Van En provide new insight into making CSA not only a viable economic model, but the right choice for food lovers and farmers alike. In exchange for paying in advance-at the beginning of the growing season, when the farm needs financing-CSA members receive the freshest, healthiest produce throughout the season and keep money, jobs, and farms in their own community. The premise is simple: create a partnership between local farmers and nearby consumers, who become members or subscribers in support of the farm. To an increasing number of American families the CSA (community supported agriculture) is the answer to the globalization of our food supply.
