What is a C.S.A.?
In its strictest sense, Community-Supported Agriculture is an arrangement in which members of a community pay in advance for a portion, or share, of a local farmer’s harvest, usually at discount. This up-front investment provides the farmers with capital when they need it, as they are starting a growing season, and guarantees regular deliveries of in-season locally-grown produce to the customers as produce is harvested.
The Islesboro C.S.A. works on a slightly different model; our vendors ask for investment several times a year —in September, December and June— rather than just once, allowing the customers to participate on a seasonal basis.
Your participation in the Islesboro C.S.A. supports our local producers while delivering fresh food to the island and your table. Thank you for your support!
