New
Workplace CSA manual released
CISA is happy to announce the release of a new resource,
"Community Supported Agriculture for the Workplace:
A Guide for Developing Workplace Community Supported
Agriculture Distributions." Since the launch of
CISA's Workplace CSA program in 2005, we have worked
with seven workplaces and nine farms to start up off-farm
CSA distributions. This manual is designed to impart
some of the key lessons we've learned over the years
and to help other non-profits, farmers, and workplaces
replicate the project. The guide can be downloaded for
free here.
To request a hard copy of the manual, or if you have
any questions, contact Claire
Morenon at (413) 665-7100, ext 16.
