What is Community Supported Agriculture?

Community supported agriculture (CSA) programs provide a direct connection to how and where food is produced. CSA is a model through which the consumer can invest directly in a local farm, and help build regional food security. Members gain regular access to their farmers while collecting their share of fresh, local, and seasonal produce.

Distribution of Produce

CSA members pick up a share of fresh, local produce at the APU Farmer’s Market every week for 18 weeks. Half share memberships are also available and receive bi-weekly shares. If members are not able to pick up on a given week they are welcome to have a friend or neighbor pick up, or opt to donate their share to the hungry through Alaska Tilth with a one week notice.
