Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs provide a convenient and affordable way for community members to access fresh, healthy and seasonal food while supporting and connecting with local farmers.
Sign-up as a CSA member and receive a weekly or bi-weekly Crop Box filled with locally grown produce, meat, eggs, yogurt and other artisan goods. Brought to you by Washington University’s Office of Sustainability and HR Well-Being in partnership with Local Farmer CSA.
