Community Gardens and CSA: Farmstand Fields of St. Croix, Lake Elmo, Minnesota A variation on this theme is the concept of community-supported agriculture (CSA), where a farming couple typically leases land from a home association and raises a variety of fresh vegetables, berries, herbs, and flowers, to be picked (or cut) by CSA members, who pay an annual membership fee for the privilege. Some parents bring their children to these "Pick-Your-Own" operations, turning it into a family activity, while others prefer to simply stop by the farm stand and collect their weekly share of the produce.
