CSA members make a commitment to support the farm throughout the season. They assume the risks and bounty of growing food along with the farmer or grower. Members help pay for seeds, fertilizer, water, equipment maintenance, labor, etc.
The farm draws up a budget reflecting the production costs for the year. This includes all salaries, distribution costs, investments for seeds and tools, land payments, etc. The budget is then divided by the number of people for which the farm will provide. This determines the cost of each share of the harvest. One share is designed to provide the weekly vegetable needs for a family of four.
