For people who have thought about buying a share in a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm but haven’t yet acted, it’s getting late in the season, but not too late. According to Communities Involved in Sustaining Agriculture (CISA), there are 11 farms around the region with available shares. All 11 farms open their doors this week to “anyone who wants to come by to tour the farm, meet the farmers, learn more and see the CSA in action,” CISA reports.
