This paper seeks to develop a theoretical approach of supply for CSA membership that incorporates the
uncertainties and social institution changes described above. The development of a model of supply that is socially
diverse and ecologically regenerative is an important achievement for both the CSA community and the rest of
agriculture in the United States (Lass, et al. 2003). To accomplish this task, anecdotal and survey data from Roxbury
Farm, a CSA farm in rural Columbia County, New York, will be used. The Roxbury Farm CSA was started in 1990,
and his since become one of the largest CSA farms in the United States, with more than 950 members or an estimated
2,000 or more consumers. Members of the Roxbury Farm come from three distinct regions: (1) a third from New
York City, (2) a sixth from Columbia County, and (3) half from the Capital District area near Albany, New York.
From early June through December, produce is delivered to different distribution sites where members go to pick up
their share, usually during a two to four hour period on a designated day. Typically, members receive 400 pounds of
vegetables per year, all of which are grown on just thirty of the over one hundred forty acres of land on the farm.
