Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Over the last 20 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.
Here’s how it works: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
CSAs that deliver to the Truckee area:
Mountain Bounty Farm in Nevada City: variety of vegetables, fruit share also available.
