Nearly seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans are still buying food directly from farms in record numbers.
When the pandemic struck in March, subscriptions to CSAs — Community Supported Agriculture — spiked. CSA is a partnership between a farmer and customer in which the customer pays for a membership share in exchange for a weekly box of produce, meat or other goods.
