关于社区支持农业:

Joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) or a Buying Club (a way to purchase 当地的 vegetables wholesale) is a great way to get fresh, 当地的, pesticide-free vegetables without going to the market. 在标准的CSA中, Members purchase a share of a farmer's crops before the growing season begins and, 反过来, receive a selection of fresh vegetables on a regular basis. With a Buying Club, members pool their money to purchase bulk, 当地的 produce at wholesale prices. A summer CSA or Buying Club typically runs May-October and includes a variety of herbs, 蔬菜和水果. 

WellWorks CSA的历史:

WellWorks CSA项目于2011年在雅典启动, Ohio (雅典 County) with Shade River Organic Farm serving as the provider. 按周计算, the Hamiltons delivered amazing vegetables and herbs to CSA supporters at newbb电子平台. They delivered desired shares to various on-campus locations each week. This program was created in an effort to ensure our employees and members had easy access to 当地的, 营养丰富的食物. We genuinely believe that this program positively contributed to the wellness of our community.

In 2018, 由于时间限制, Shade River Organic Farm elected not to continue their relationship with the WellWorks CSA, so the University sought a suitable replacement through a county-wide Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Rural Action's Buying Club submitted the winning "bid" and the Buying Club model was first utilized in Summer 2018 at newbb电子平台. 

In 2020, Rural Action augmented the program by creating the "Add-On Program" where participants can opt to add weekly orders of 当地的ly produced items such as maple syrup, 堵塞, 水母, 芯片,  豆子。, 等.

In 2023, Rural Action will continue as the provider of the newbb电子平台 Produce Buying Club.

Rural Action's Produce Buying Club model is quite unique! The 当地的 non-profit works to pool the money of Buying Club participants and then make large purchases at the 当地的 切斯特希尔农产品拍卖会. 从那里, Rural Action divides the procured produce evenly into the purchased shares to be able to provide diverse weekly shares of produce to participants while supporting 当地的 growers and producers.
