CSA is a model for social, nutritional and environmental equity. CSA has been defined in the UK as meaning any food, fuel or fibre producing initiative where the community shares the responsibilities, risks and rewards of production in a spirit of mutual trust and openness. This may be through ownership, investment, sharing the costs of production, or provision of labour. This partnership between producer and consumer supports three pillars which represent our core values:

 

People Care

A fair and steady income for the producer and a relationship based on trust with the consumers/members. Access to healthy food at affordable prices.

 

 

Earth Care

A chance for the land and biodiversity to flourish due to ecological farming methods and shared interest in these methods of production.

 

 

Fair Share

A share in the harvest of healthy (mostly organic or biodynamic), local and low carbon produce; a connection with the producer, the land and each other. This includes a commitment to support the farmer through both good and poor harvests.

​

Every CSA operates within a framework but every farm is different. Most offer shares in Veg Boxes, while others are more diverse and may offer shares in butchered animals too. Buying in to half a pig, lamb or even a cow can provide an interesting array of butchered cuts that you might not ordinarily come across. A real opportunity to broaden your food horizons.
