The original book on bringing the farm and the community together again.

With surprising swiftness, a new approach to farming called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is taking root all across America and around the world. In this book, authors Trauger Groh and Steven McFadden weave together an exploration of the simple yet elegant theory of CSA with examples of farms and communities that have embraced this approach. CSA has proved since the date of publication to have offered many positive possibilities: restoring farming as a secure and satisfying vocation, reconnecting local communities around the basic issue of food, helping to heal the earth and restore the environment, and creating workable economic alternatives.

Farms of Tomorrow Revisited is the sequel to this original, ground-breaking book.
