Having grown from a handful in the early 1980's to over 1,200 today, CSA's have grown not only in size, but sophistication. Farming practices, distribution systems and community organizing are all components of CSA operations. From small farms to universities, resources have been developed to help the CSA model grow and sustain itself.
Below is but a short list of these many resources. Over time the KC-CSAC will develop separate pages for consumer resources and farmer resources to help provide information to, and interaction within, the CSA community.
