Community Supported Agriculture is a mutually beneficial partnership between farmers and community members, sharing the risks and rewards of growing food.  Susquehanna Community Agriculture Project (SCSAP) provides members with a variety of locally grown organic fresh foods.  The CSA is more than the expectation of money for goods – it yields more than a season’s worth of food, it yields a stronger local community.

Goals of the SCSAP:

-to keep local farms vital and sustainable

-contribute more to developing the local economy in Otsego County

-develop a local food network

-provide opportunities to learn about our local seasonal food production

-pay a living wage to participating farmers

-improve nutrition through organic and wholistic farming practices
