List of CSA’s throughout Florida
In keeping with the Green values of Future Focus/Sustainability, Personal & Global Responsibility, Community-Based Economics, and Ecological Wisdom, Jennifer Sullivan of the Green Party of Hernando County, and fellow Green Larry Waller of Polk County, wanted to share a listing of CSAs in Florida. CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a means by which those of us living in urban areas can help support small family farms and farming cooperatives while enjoying the benefits of their hard work.
CSAs typically offer organic, farm-fresh produce at a lower cost than you can find at local supermarkets. The farmer, or a representative will usually deliver pre-paid bags of seasonal goods to a central drop-off location where members can pick it up. Prices vary by location.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services maintains a list of CSAs throughout Florida, but, because CSAs are not required to register with the department, the list is not a complete one. Being listed does not imply that a CSA is endorsed, approved or otherwise sanctioned by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. If you know of a CSA group that is not listed, please send the info to us using the form below so that we can add it to our list!
Enjoy!
Below is a list of CSAs in Florida. Contact a CSA directly for information about its farmers, crops and membership fees.
Please note: Although the Green Party Of Florida supports the idea of Consumer Supported Agriculture, we are not necessarily endorsing these farms over any organic CSA not listed below. All CSAs are different, and it is up to you as a consumer to find the CSA that best meets your individual needs.

Hi, Kelly. Thanks for the interesting story. I’m compiling list of farms, farmers markets, and CSAs for the January edition of Florida Food & Farm, and I came across your brief. Did you receive a response from any CSAs that I might be able to add to my list? I have a few in addition to the ones on your list above, but I’m hoping you might have heard about a few more. The email address for Florida Food & Farm is info@floridafoodandfarm.com
