Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Flowchart: An interactive flowchart to explore resources on incorporating CSA into your operation

Heidi Noordijk, Garry Stephenson and, Holly Huchason (June, 2020)

Summary

The closure of restaurants, colleges, and other outlets resulted in farms and ranches switching to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model or increasing the number of CSA shares to meet market demand and sell all their produce. The OSU Small Farms Program partnered with the Portland Area CSA Coalition to develop an online interactive flowchart for CSA farmers and ranchers. The target audience for this webpage is for farmers of all experience levels, those with no CSA background to those looking to add more shares or collaborate with other CSA farms. This flowchart allows producers to explore resources on incorporating Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) into their operations.
