Participants and recruitment procedure
Convenience samples of CSA members were recruited to participate in an online survey. Participants were recruited from CSA
programs that operate within the state of Arizona. This list was
generated from LocalHarvest (localharvest.org, n.d.), a website
used to find local foods programs and farms within a user-specified
region. CSAs and their coordinators who work with a large CSA
farm in Arizona were also identified using the farm’s website.
CSA coordinators were sent an email that included a brief explanation of the purpose of the study and a request to advertise the survey to their current CSA members. To participate in the study,
members must have been at least 18 years of age at the time of
survey completion
