CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, is a model where individuals pledge financial support to local farmers before the growing season begins, in exchange for a share of the harvest. It's a partnership rooted in community, sustainability, and mutual benefit.
CSA members typically pay upfront for their share of the harvest, providing farmers with crucial financial support early in the season. This investment helps cover farming expenses, such as seeds, equipment, and labor, while also enabling farmers to offer produce at affordable prices and support low-income communities.
Through CSA programs like We All Eat CSA, individuals can enjoy knowing where their food comes from, supporting Black, Indigenous, and farmers of color, and participating in a more equitable and sustainable food system.
The history of CSA's
The pioneering ideas of Booker T. Whatley, an agricultural scientist, laid the foundation for modern CSAs. He emphasized the importance of direct farmer-consumer relationships and cooperative farming practices that lead to the CSA of today, which prioritize connecting consumers with local farmers, supporting sustainable agriculture, and fostering food sovereignty.
Rinse fruits and vegetables under cool, running water to remove dirt, debris, and any pesticide residues. Use a vegetable brush for items with tougher skins, like potatoes or carrots.
Handle produce gently to prevent bruising and damage. Pat delicate items like lettuce and berries dry with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove excess moisture, which can accelerate spoilage.
Most fruits and vegetables benefit from refrigeration to prolong their shelf life. However, some items, like tomatoes, onions, and potatoes, are best stored at room temperature.
Consume highly perishable items, such as berries, leafy greens, and herbs, within a few days of receiving them. Plan your meals to incorporate these items early in the week to ensure they're enjoyed at their peak freshness.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your fresh-from-the-farm produce from the We All Eat CSA stays vibrant, flavorful, and nutritious for as long as possible.

We have decided to keep our CSA small for a few reasons. First, we want to be able to continue our mission, which is to grow as much food as possible for distribution to Fountain Heights neighbors and friends, regardless of their ability to pay. In past years we’ve regularly fed between 15 and 30 families using our sliding scale pricing model for produce sales. We hope you will agree that providing affordable and healthy fruits and vegetables to our residents is an important mission. Most of our produce goes straight into the hands and stomachs of our neighbors. We think that's a good thing. Second, we’re a small operation! We are a collaborative of five Alabama farmers and producers using ancestral farming methods to grow great produce while also caring for the land.

We grow a variety of crops including traditional and heirloom vegetables and fruits. Being a member of the We All Eat CSA means each week you will receive the tasty, freshly harvested produce including some items we only offer to our members including potential surpluses of a crop that could be added to your share.
We will provide access to our exclusive Facebook group where you can ask questions, meet other CSA members, contact your farmers directly, enjoy recipes and so much more. In addition, each week you will receive an insert with a printed recipe, storage suggestions, and an update from our farmers.

Seasonal membership is nonrefundable. Once you’ve signed up, we have begun to plan and plant for your specific share. You are welcome to cancel your membership, but it will be without a refund.
If you would like to cancel your share, we encourage you to gift your unused shares to a family member, friend, or neighbor. If you need help gifting your share, we have a list of community elders who would greatly enjoy receiving your seasonal share. Thank you for your generosity.
