What is Community Supported Agriculture?
The Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model allows for consumers to purchase shares in the farm for a season in return for a specific amount of produce/product each week. Some farms have pick-up locations while others will deliver and most farms offer different size shares. It is important to think about purchasing a share before the season is in full swing so the farmers can plan accordingly and plant enough for everyone.
If it is your first time, we recommend getting a smaller share or splitting a share with a friend or neighbor until you are used to the process. In addition to produce, Charleston also has CSAs for seafood (CSF), beef, flowers, and a number of animal products such as milk, eggs, and cheese. Below is a list of local farms offering CSAs.
For more detailed information on these farms and their products, check out our Farm Fresh Food Guide.
**Signups for Spring 2013 CSAs are now underway! The following list offers several Lowcountry CSA options, along with contact information and where available, websites to learn more and sign up.**
