Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) emerged in the U.S. during a period of uncertainty for family-scale farmers after World War II, and the movement’s origins were shaped by diverse influences, such as the concept of a Clientele Membership Club, and the Pick Your Own (PYO) system, ensuring financial security for farmers while fostering direct farmer-consumer relationships.
