Tess Romanski, Communications & Development Manager, explains exactly what a CSA is, how it works, and why it’s a win-win for both farmers and consumers. CSA stands for community supported agriculture.  Romanski explains that FairShare was notified that one of their signed and contracted grants was terminated. That grant was specifically for CSA promotion, making CSA accessible they had planned a project to do a lot of research into CSA and make CSA accessible and provide a lot of resources for Farmers to be able to Market and reach new audiences. With the loss of funding and talks of funding freezes and conservation programs under question, it's a hard time to be a farmer so she says now is a great time to show your local farmer that you care.
