2024 CSA

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, an operational farm model that allows customers to pay for a share of the harvest upfront, then receive produce dividends as they become available. This model consists of a community of individuals who commit their support to a farm operation and together with the growers provide mutual support, sharing the risks and benefits of food production.

By becoming a member of World Farmers CSA you become an instrumental part in supporting the FMF immigrant and refugee farmers businesses while also receiving fresh-from-the-farm seasonal crops every week. Moreover, because each FMF farmer’s crop plan reflects some of the food of their homeland, you’ll receive a new cultural crop for you to try at home, complete with a crop description and recipe card! Some of these crops may include muchicha/amaranth, lalu, jilo, chipilin, water spinach, tatsoi, sweet potato leaves, or pumpkin vines, to name a few.
