The two links above show different ways to become involved with CSA's. In the first link, a father in Oregon is looking to bring a desire to his family of being part of the local agricultural market and is therefore joining a local CSA to bring local produce into his home all summer. He is joining a well established CSA that will cap its membership at 40 families for the upcoming summer but will help out others that are interested by selling his produce at a corner store that is open limited hours. In the you tube video the narrator has found a slightly different way of becoming involved with CSA's. she started her own farm with her close friends as her only members to begin with. This let he find a rhythm of growing and selling and also let her see if she enjoyed this kind of work. Her farm has grown considerably since she began and now employees 6 full time staff members and has 100 members. While these two stories show very different sides to CSA's it expresses the range of ways to become involved with CSA's in your area. Whether you just want to eat fresh food that looks and tastes much better than food in your grocery store or if you want to make CSA's your profession, anyone can get involved with community supported agriculture in their area.
