Book Reviews of Sharing the Harvest: A Citizen's Guide to Community Supported Agriculture, Revised and Expanded
Book Review: Very good resource for CSA customers and growers
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a wannabe CSA farmer so this book was at the top of my list. I really have enjoyed it. It is geared more for the customer so it's not very technical but it has plenty of info for growers including plant charts that are really useful. I know this will be a well used book once I get started with my CSA.
Don't expect to learn all aspects of running a CSA from this book however, but you should enjoy it.
Summary of Sharing the Harvest: A Citizen's Guide to Community Supported Agriculture, Revised and Expanded
To an increasing number of American families the CSA (community supported agriculture) is the answer to the globalization of our food supply. The premise is simple: create a partnership between local farmers and nearby consumers, who become members or subscribers in support of the farm. In exchange for paying in advance--at the beginning of the growing season, when the farm needs financing--CSA members receive the freshest, healthiest produce throughout the season and keep money, jobs, and farms in their own community.In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition of a Chelsea Green classic, authors Henderson and Van En provide new insight into making CSA not only a viable economic model, but the right choice for food lovers and farmers alike. Thinking and buying local is quickly moving from a novel idea to a mainstream activity. The groundbreaking first edition helped spark a movement and, with this revised edition, Sharing the Harvest is poised to lead the way toward a revitalized agriculture.
