Resources Available for Community Supported Agriculture
During the 2020 pandemic, as customers scrambled to sign up for weekly pickup or delivery of boxes of produce fresh from the farm, many CSA farmers who had been struggling for subscriptions were suddently struggling to manage overwhelming demand.
