* Purchasing a CSA Share with EBT:
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a partnership between a farm and a community of supporters. CSA members commit to a farm for a whole growing season by purchasing a CSA share. The farmer then provides each member with a weekly distribution of fresh, seasonal produce at the peak of ripeness and nutrition. Talk to the farmer about CalFresh payment options
The Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) CAFF builds sustainable food and farming systems through policy, advocacy, and on-the-ground programs that create more resilient family farms, communities and ecosystems.
