In this post, I will explain what a CSA is (and how it differs from a co-op) and where to find one. In a separate post, I will explain how to make it work for you. So, what IS a CSA?

It shows in how we are living.We have signed up for two different CSAs this year--neither of them are the one we did last year (that one didn't have room at the more local site and I can't do the drive like last year).
