Community Supported Agriculture won't solve every problem, but it's a start. It's an opportunity to say that you are willing to take the hard steps needed to support your local farmers, strengthen the Lower Mainland's food security, reduce the carbon cost of your food, and help reduce pollutants and waste associated with more convenient food. Please join us on our journey to make the world a better place. You can find out more at fractalfarm.ca. *** *** Facts about the 2020 Fractal Farm CSA: Cost: $550 Length: 18 weeks Amount: Usually good for 2 adults Pick Up: Britannia Community Centre, on Tuesdays from May-August, then on Sundays Swipe to see examples of shares with happy members from 2019 *** *** What's a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It's a system where members buy a weekly veggie box, and pay at the beginning of the season. It means that farmers don't risk not selling produce at market (which reduces food waste), and it's a cheaper way to get fresh, sustainable vegetables, because you're buying in bulk.
