Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is an opportunity for community members to support local farms by purchasing a weekly or bi-weekly share of that farm's produce. Individuals or families become CSA members by paying an agreed amount at the beginning of the growing season. This upfront payment helps us buy the seeds and other inputs needed for the season and provides an immediate income to begin the season. This allows WCG to concentrate on good land stewardship and growing high quality food.
Your purchase of a CSA share also enables us to continue serving Williamsburg and James City County through donation of produce to our community partners, such as St. Olaf’s Food Pantry and Grove Christian Outreach Center, and to provide space for folks to garden.
And it supports our educational programming about growing food and conservation practices.
