Morningside Farm CSA was established in 2009 in Brevard, North Carolina. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is a direct marketing model in which community members buy a share of the farm for the year.  In exchange, members receive a box of fresh produce on a weekly or biweekly basis for the entire growing season.
