This listing is intended for informational purposes only. It’s being updated as more local and organic food sources are identified.
Farms that are a Community Supported Agriculture option for foods are indicated by a CSA logo. For background information on CSA see http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/csa.html * Only farms with the USDA National Organic Program certification can display the organic logo. This list identifies local farms with this certification next to their information. However, not all farms using organic practices seek such certification, including some farms on this list. Therefore, you can address your inquiry to each of the other farmers about their ability to provide foods using organic or similar techniques.
