Connect with Local Growers

Check out a listing of local CSAs, Farmer’s Markets and Urban Gardening organizations in the region.

CSAs

Why join a CSA? Community supported agriculture (CSA) allows you to purchase fresh, seasonal produce directly from the source. This could be from one producer or several producers working together.

In return, your CSA membership purchase provides farmers and other producers with a source of guaranteed income that ensures they can plant. This is a terrific way to support local growers, increase agricultural biodiversity in our region, and get delicious (often organic) fruits and veggies on the regular!

Below are a few suggestions to get you started.
