Mike Emers of Rosie Creek Farm is coordinating this roundtable for northern area growers, while Anne-Corinne Kell of Spring Creek Farm is coordinating for the Matanuska-Susitna area and elsewhere. Please contact them for more information on the agenda. This meeting is open not only to those operating CSAs, but all those involved in small-scale community oriented agriculture.
The first CSA Roundtable was held March 19 and covered topics such as labor costs, agricultural infrastructure, supporting businesses, and supporting organizations. A loose group of CSA operators has been formed. To join their e-mail list, please contact the SNRAS Information Office, Mike Emers, or Anne-Corinne Kell.
