Community Supported Agriculture
As part of World Environment Day, I spoke about my love for my CSA Box. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. I love my CSA Box as it is truly seasonal, it's fresh and delicious, and most importantly the money I pay goes straight to the farmer direct and provides them with financial security for the year.
CSA requires an upfront payment of a membership and in turn you receive a box of vegetables each week. The vegetables are seasonal and you get what is right for picking that week (ie you cannot choose what you are getting). It is nature's lucky dip!!!
