Have you ever signed up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share? CSAs are a great way to support local farmers by paying for your produce in advance — usually early in the year — and receiving boxes of local, in-season produce throughout the growing season (usually every week).
Join a CSA in 2026! Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is good for farmers and for customers alike! In a CSA, the customer pays for a crop "share" up front, guaranteeing farmers a market for what they’re growing. In return, farmers commit to supplying fresh, quality food to customers on a weekly basis throughout the growing season. We have CSA options in Tompkins County to fit everyone’s needs, ranging from vegetables and fruits to meat and dairy with a variety of sizes, locations, and contents.
