What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)?
The CSA model has its roots in 1960s Japan. It is a partnership between producers and community members, known as
shareholders or members, who invest in a local farm by paying
for a full season’s worth of produce in early spring before the
growing season starts.This benefits growers by providing income
for the farm’s operating expenses, and in return members receive
a weekly share of the harvest throughout the growing season.
Shares are typically distributed through central pickup sites or
at the farm.
Many CSA farms offer opportunities for member participation
through workshops and seasonal celebrations, building community by reconnecting members to the seasons and fostering relationships between members and the people who grow their food.
Some farms may also offer worker shares, which means members
trade labor in exchange for a CSA share. Find a CSA farm near
you by using the CSA icon.

Farmshed wants all people to know their farmers and support them by purchasing local foods.
EBT machines are offered at several local farmers’ markets to allow Food Share (WI food stamp
program) participants to use their benefits on locally produced foods. This program puts healthy
food on their tables, dollars in our farmers’ pockets, and federal money flowing through the local
economy. Many vendors at area markets also accept WIC/Senior Farmers Market Vouchers, so watch
for signs or contact your market’s manager with questions.
