We use about 20 acres of Clagett Farm to raise produce.  We sell our produce through a system called Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA.  This means that our customers pay once in the spring.  We use that income to purchase seed and supplies, and pay our staff.  Then our members come to one of our pick-up sites once a week for the entire harvest season (6 months) and take one portion of what we have harvested.  Because we want everyone to have access to healthy produce, we distribute 40% of our harvest to low-income families.
