Grow Youngstown's CSA: Farm to You
Farm to You, a Community Supported Agriculture market, supports local farmers by connecting them directly with eaters. Knowing they can count on sales to Grow Youngstown helps our farmers plan the growing season more effectively and leverage a guaranteed market to expand their production. Members get fresh, locally produced food, most of it sustainably grown, and help build a strong local food economy that supports producers and ensures healthy food access to more local families. We accept the Ohio Direction Card. Visit our Farm to You shop

THE ADVANTAGES OF CSA
- Greater nutritional value: Food traveling shorter distances, reaches customers with higher nutritional content.
- Supports the local economy: Money transferred stays within the local economy (doesn't go to Chicago (IGA) or Pittsburgh (Giant Eagle) creating direct and interdependent bonds between producers and consumers.
- Good price: Customers pay less or equal to what they would pay at the supermarket for organically grown produce and farmers get a fair price and we lower our carbon foot print!
- Variety: Customers get a variety of vegetables not always available at the local supermarket.
- Sustainable: It's sustainable because it's local and with few exceptions, we choose to work with farmers that follow organic practices.
