<P><p>Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an increasingly popular way for to buy directly from local farmers. Usually, a farmer will offer a certain number of “shares” that typically consist of a box of seasonal vegetables each week throughout the typical growing season. </p>
<p>In Texas, that’s normally April through November. The cost for a share varies from farmer to farmer and depends on whether other farm products—eggs, meat, poultry, etc.—are included as well. Some CSA’s offer the opportunity to trade a day or two in the field for a reduced share price. It’s great for the farmer since they can receive cash upfront (or in several payments through the season) which helps cash flow. </p>
<p>Be aware that the buying a share is not an iron-clad guarantee of vegetables every week. If a freak storm or bad drought destroys the crops, there may be little to “share.” And usually, there’s no money back guarantee. It’s a shared risk. </p>
<p>But on the upside, customers do get a weekly supply of fresh, home-grown vegetables from a farmer they know, and invariably they are exposed to vegetables they’ve never had before. <br /></p>
