GUILFORD â Already popular in the tri-state region, CSAs quickly sold out of shares last year as the pandemic gripped the nation.
A CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, is a production and marketing model whereby consumers buy shares of a farmâs harvest in advance. This year, shares are again selling fast and some local farmers are hoping to keep up with the demand.

But their three-year lease on Mineral Springs Farm in Guilford Center expires at the end of this year and they need to find a spot to put down permanent roots.
