Colorado Springs Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Category Definition

Frequenting your neighborhood farmer’s market is a great way to support local agriculture and reduce your food miles. But what if you want to go further? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is the option preferred by eco-enthusiasts looking for practical solutions to their food problems that also benefit local farmers and the environment over the long term. Plus, they’re an incredibly convenient way to buy fresh and seasonal foods – everything from tomatoes to fresh flowers to cheese to apple pie.

Greenness Calculation (what's this?)

CSA program greenness is calculated based on the following factors as shown below. If a factor is not relevant for a particular listing, or we do not have sufficient data for a particular factor, then that factor is excluded from the calculation, and greenness is calculated based on the remaining factors.
