Resources

  • One of the best way to support local farmers is to participate in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm shares. By purchasing a farm share in advance of farmers’ growing season, you will receive a box/bag of seasonal produce regularly during their harvest. Support Zawadi Farm’s CSA shares:
