It’s that time of year – to sign up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share! Websites like Local Harvest offer a search function that can help you find someone in your area, and the Leopold Center does an annual CSA list… but often I’m asked if we can provide a list of CSAs that are also members of PFI…
Below is an ever-growing list of PFI member-CSA farms, plus a few farms that don’t do CSA, but offer products directly to consumers. Dig into this list of PFI-member farmers (and farmer cooperatives) who would love to provide food for you and your family!
**If you are a member of PFI and would like your CSA added to the list, email me: liz@practicalfarmers.org**
