To learn about the motivations and values of CSA farmers, respondents were asked a series of
questions to rate the influences of factors and benefits on members. Respondents were first asked to
rate factors that influenced their decision to start the CSA farm, on a scale of 1 (weakest) to 5
(strongest). Table 2 shows the percentage of respondents who indicated 4 or 5 on the scale for each
motivation factor and average responses.
