Sharing The Harvest: A Citizen's Guide to Community Supported
Agriculture (Revised and Expanded Edition) by Elizabeth
Henderson with Robyn Van En
To an increasing number of American families the CSA
(community supported agriculture) is the answer to the globalization of
our food supply. The premise is simple: create a partnership between
local farmers and nearby consumers, who become members or subscribers in
support of the farm. In exchange for paying in advance—at the beginning
of the growing season, when the farm needs financing—CSA members receive
the freshest, healthiest produce throughout the season and keep money,
jobs, and farms in their own community.
In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of a Chelsea Green
classic, authors Henderson and Van En provide new insight into making
CSA not only a viable economic model, but the right choice for food
lovers and farmers alike. Thinking and buying local is quickly moving
from a novel idea to a mainstream activity. The groundbreaking first
edition helped spark a movement and, with this revised edition,
Sharing the Harvest is poised to lead the way toward a revitalized
agriculture.
