Community Supported Agriculture

The Chinese Shaolin Center in Marietta is partnering with TaylOrganic Farm in Henry County to receive a weekly delivery of local, organically grown fruit and vegetables through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.



What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a mutually beneficial partnership between a farmer and a community. Members purchase shares of the farm and in exchange receive a weekly delivery of fresh locally grown produce as well as satisfaction gained from reconnecting to the land and participating directly in food production.
