Community supported agriculture on dairy farms

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is a contract based partnership between farmers and consumers. The basic idea is that a fixed circle of consumers finances a farm and thus ensures their own supply of sustainable and high-quality food. It is an alternative socio-economic model of agriculture and food distribution that allows producers and consumers to share the risks of agriculture. The members advance money to the farmer for seeds, wages and agricultural equipment, decide together with the farmer what and how to produce and in return receive their share of fruit, vegetables, dairy products and meat.
