Community Supported Agriculture

CSA – Community Supported Agriculture

This year Kits House is partnering with Kitsilano Farms to be a pickup location for their CSA.  This mini urban market will be every Thursday evening from 5:30-7:30. 

For those of you who are not familiar with a CSA, here’s how it works.  CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.   The farm operation grows for a set number of harvest shareholders who subscribe at the beginning of the year.  Then the shareholders share in the bounty of the harvest throughout the growing season, assuming the mother nature is on our side.  This provides financial support for the farmers early in the spring when it is most needed.  In return, everyone gets to share the fruits of an abundant and diverse harvest throughout the season.  In this way, the farm and CSA members form a network of mutual support.
