Each year we update and re-post our list of CSAs that exist across the province, which I’m  happy to report, continues to grow each year! That being said, I wouldn’t deny that it is quite probable I’ve missed something and if that’s the case, please let me know.

I promise to correct any errors or omissions in the list  as quickly as I can.

What is a CSA or Community supported Agriculture? Read about it here. Curious if a CSA is right for you? Here’s an article about the pros and cons.  Ready to sign up?  The following is a list of some great CSA farms and other community supported food businesses around Nova Scotia.  (A few CSAs have neither a website nor a facebook page, in which case, I’ve linked to their email address.
