Originally, the concept of community was imbedded within the very idea of community
supported agriculture. But time and social development as outlined with Tönnies’s concepts of
Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft map out the progression of community supported agriculture
from its inception to its place in society and commerce today. The escalated social development
of CSAs reflected what Baudrillard described as hyper-reality and simulacrum. Using the lenses
above, my study contributed to existing literature by exploring the concept of community within
the milieu of Tönnies and Baudrillardian theory.
