“Workplace CSAs — community-supported-agriculture shares in a local farm, with regular deliveries of just-picked organic produce — are cropping up in offices around New York, giving rise to veggie swapping, recipe trading and even culinary competitions.”

Interested in starting a CSA pick-up at your company or workplace? Want to form a relationship between your business and a local organic farm? FairShare CSA Coalition can help!

Eating more farm-fresh veggies can improve employee health, and workplace CSA can build camaraderie and improve staff morale. It’s also a great complement to company wellness programs. And it’s convenient and affordable, too. Several Wisconsin health insurers – Physicians Plus, Unity Health and Group Health Cooperative – offer CSA wellness rebates of up to $200 per household. Learn more about the CSA Health Insurance Rebate.
