HOW TO START A CSA
Saturday – October 25, 2025 at 2pm EST
Join us for this practical, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to start your own Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. A CSA is a partnership between farmers and local customers, where customers pay upfront for a season’s worth of fresh, farm-grown produce, eggs, or other products — giving farmers steady income and supporters a direct connection to where their food comes from.
This session covers how to design your CSA program, set prices, plan your crops or products, manage member communications, and deliver a great customer experience. Whether you’re a small grower or expanding your existing farm business, you’ll leave with tools and ideas to launch a successful CSA and build a loyal community around your farm.
