Community Supported Agriculture is a part of the “slow food movement” that seeks to decentralize the production of food from large corporate entities to small, local, businesses. Community Supported Agriculture is defined as “a concept describing a community-based organization of producers and consumers. The consumers agree to provide direct, up-front support for the local growers who will produce their food. The growers agree to do their best to provide a sufficient quality and quantity of food to meet the needs and expectations of the consumers” (Lamb). In colloquial language however, this term takes on a different meaning. Also termed “subscription farming” farms that are based on the CSA concept are called CSA’s. Members of a CSA will purchase a share in the farm by paying a membership fee, and will come to the farm biweekly or weekly to pick up a box filled with the harvest. CSA’s provide a number of products, primarily organic fruits and vegetables, as well as locally produced honey, eggs, milk or meat. This movement has been theoretically embraced by many and is growing at fast rate, but it still is not being practiced on a large scale.
