More than three-fourths of the CSAs surveyed
offered some form of payment plan for their
members. The most common form of payment
plan was simply to offer members the option to
pay in two or more installments throughout the
season. This differs from the original CSA concept
which often required members to pay up-front.
Other CSAs offer members the option of making
a deposit in the winter or early spring, then paying
the balance by a certain date.
