WHAT is the WILSON FARM CSA?
CSA stands for “Community Supported Agriculture” and refers to a partnership with your local farmer (Wilson Farm) where the public is able to buy "shares" of the harvest.
Each share entitles members to a weekly package of fresh-picked fruits & veggies, discounts & specials, hand-picked weekly recipes and other locally-produced goodies. There's even a cut-flower share.
