A problem
JUST FOOD
CSA helps to support family farms that are struggling to stay in
business, while providing city people, particularly in low-income
neighborhoods, with access to good, affordable produce.
The low-income aspect of a csa subsciber is very very problematic.
It is real hard to get people who don't have money to pay money they
don't have for a csa subscription. Unfortunately, the minimal income
hurdle is a problem for CSA's and low income neighborhoods.
Various programs try to focus on low-income neighborhoods, but it is
hard. One of the programs in the DC area that does this applies for
grants and then with the foundation and donation money buys shares
from CSA farmers which are then sold in low-income neighborhoods at
prices lower than the farmer could sell them.
