CSA stands for “Co History of Community Supported Agriculture Principles BD Farmers and consumers created together the CSA model to: 1) free farmers from market pressures and exploitation 2) build community around a farm 3) give real food security to the local people 4) promote the healing of the planet. CSA is a social and earth- justice movement based on spiritual principles. CSA allows farmers to work outside of market competition, and members are ensured a season or year’s worth of high quality food. It is a win-win situation for farmers, consumers and the earth. The Spiritual Food CSA highlights these principles: Ecological Farming In Biodynamics, food is grown in a non-commercial way, with no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, etc. BD agriculture propagates a balanced, sustainable eco-system; avoids overuse of water and fuel in farming practices; and avoids waste by composting or up-cycling. The CSA farmer-to-consumer model drastically reduces packaging thereby reducing the environmental impact of producing and disposing of single-use plastic and paper. Alternative Economics CSA builds local economies and communities which offsets globalization and contributes to a sustainable economic system which allows conscientious farmers to stay in business and attracts young people to the profession. Wonderful Food Members benefit from fresh, nourishing, Biodynamic and organic food which we call Sattwic (pure) or spiritual food. With watered-down organic regulations, and genetically manipulated ingredients in many commercial products, we believe the only way to ensure truly pure food is through direct contact with good farmers.
