Overall, the CSA rebate program has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of CSA farms operating in the area as well as the number of CSA shares sold (Jackson et al. 2011). From 2005 to 2010, the number of FairShare member farms increased from 16 to 42 and the number of CSA shares sold increased from approximately 2,000 to 9,000 (Jackson et al. 2011). The FairShare CSA Coalition estimates that a 35% increase in CSA membership in the area is directly attributable to the rebate program.
