Community Supported Agriculture
Tuesdays
June 21–October 25, 2011
4–7pm
The Pavilions
Small, independent farmers must find innovative ways to compete with large-scale, industrial agriculture. Joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program helps these farmers get their local produce on your kitchen table more readily. By offering you a pre-pay option at the beginning of the season, CSA farmers can plan their harvest appropriately, and provide your local produce every week throughout the season.
This summer, Evergreen Brick Works will be a “hub” for local CSAs. Together, they will provide all the major food groups, including produce, grains, dairy and meat—plus flowers. It's a “one-stop-shop” for your entire CSA-approved grocery list! Join today and help support local farms.
For more information on CSA models and to register, contact the participating farmers and producers below.
