It could be that there's no discussion of CSAs because nobody here knows what they are. I certainly don't. Can you explain? Searching, I get Client-Server Architecture, Community Supported Agriculture, Compliance Safety & Accountability, and more. I assume it's the second one? What does it involve?
- undersuit 9y agoCommunity Supported Agriculture, the community buys directly from farmers. A big organizer I know of is Bountiful Baskets, they cover a number of US states(though I bet there are a number of arguments that they aren't a CSA).
- cdubzzz 9y agoAdding to undersuit's response, here's a wapo article about the CSA scene in the D.C. area (in 2015): http://wapo.st/1AlQgSF http://wapo.st/1AlQgSF Basically you pay a set amount directly to the farm ahead of the harvest season and get weekly boxes of a variety of different veggies (and some bigger ones will also do meats and cheeses). Typical they cost around $30-40/week in this area, but can also be considerably more than that. Usually pick up at a local farmers' market is necessary. We lucked out with delivery to our door so some added value in that case for people in larger cities.
