Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a way for people to buy locally produced food and build a relationship with the farmer. In making the financial commitment to the farm, people become CSA members, shareholders or subscribers. In return, members receive a basket or box of produce, flowers, fruits, eggs, milk, herbs, meats or other locally grown, seasonal products. The food is delivered to one's home or there is a central pick-up location.

Most CSA farmers prefer that members pay in advance for the season, but some will accept weekly or monthly payments. Some CSAs also require that members work a small number of hours on the farm during the growing season.

A CSA season typically runs from late spring through early fall. The number of CSAs in the United States was estimated at 50 in 1990, and has since grown to more than 2,200. Here are the ones who contacted Indiana Living Green. As we learn about others, we will include them in the CSA list at the ILG Web site.
