CSA Registration opens in February
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between farmers and community members. CSA members buy a share of the harvest prior to the growing season, and in return receive a selection of healthy, fresh produce each week.
What Makes Our CSA Unique?
- Learn alongside our student farmers through seasonal newsletters and farm events
- Support practical agricultural education while enjoying fresh, organic produce
- Connect directly with the future of sustainable farming in Vermont
