COMMUNITY SUPPORTED

AGRICULTURE IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA

how does a csa work?Simply put, it’s your family buying into a farm without having to do the planting, watering, weeding or harvesting! Community Supported Agriculture fosters a direct connection between farmers and consumers.

To join a CSA is to buy a share of the season’s harvest and to become part of the farm community. This direct connection puts the face of food in full view! Before the start of the season, when the farmer is planning for the upcoming year, shares are sold to members of the community at a fixed price.

The farmer plans the plantings to meet the shares that have been sold. Every week throughout the season, CSA community members each receive a box of that week’s harvest.

Many local CSAs will deliver to several convenient area locations, but they always encourage the community to come to the farm, and even to participate in the growing of their food.

PASA is a non-profit organization that promotes profitable farms that produce healthy food for all people, while respecting the natural environment.

For more information please visit pasafarming.org or call our Western Regional Office at 412.365.2985.

PASA manages Buy Fresh Buy Local® programming in Western Pennsylvania, which aims to help consumers find, choose, and appreciate great local foods.
