Meet the farmers
Approximately 35 CSA farms will be represented at the open house. You can learn more about the types of shares they offer, where you’ll pick up your share if you become a member, and can ask them any question you have about being part of community supported agriculture.
Free workshops
If you are looking for more detailed information, the open house is also offering these free workshops to help you get answers to all your questions about joining a CSA.
