17 CSAs Around Waukesha County

Community supported agriculture (CSA) has made major strides in the last several decades. CSA customers have access to seasonal and locally grown food directly from a farmer. This system not only supports the local community, but also gives a clearer vision of where the produce comes from. After all, food doesn’t magically appear on supermarket shelves.

CSAs provide a number of benefits for both farmers and consumers. Farmers can receive payment earlier in the season which they can reinvest into their crop while consumers receive the freshest food possible. This is important because food at the supermarket is often shipped from distant locations and thus picked before it is ripe to account for travel time. However, the ripest crops are the typically most nutrient dense which makes CSA agriculture a healthier alternative. Further, CSAs give consumers exposure to a number of different produce and cooking styles as well as access to the farms where their food is grown.

CSAs are sustainable, flexible, wholesome, and right around the corner! Check out the following 15 CSAs around Waukesha County.
