Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a unique model of local agriculture. Its roots reach back almost 40 years to Japan where a group of women concerned about the increase in food imports and the corresponding decrease in the farming population initiated a direct growing and purchasing relationship between their group and local farms. This arrangement, called "teikei" in Japanese, translates to "putting the farmers' face on food". This concept traveled to Europe and in 1985, was adapted for the U.S. and given the name "Community Supported Agriculture" at Indian Line Farm, Massachusetts. It is estimated that there are now over 1500 CSA farms across North America.

The Food Project CSA is a partnership between our farm and a community of supporters. CSA members purchase a "share" of the crops that are grown. In return, we provide a healthy supply of sustainably grown, fresh vegetables, flowers, and herbs.
