A-Z Guide to Setting up a CSA

CSA Network UK <csanet...@gmail.com>: Dec 05 08:05PM We're very pleased that our new A-Z guide to setting up a CSA is now back from the printers.   The *A-Z to setting up a CSA* aims to cover most of the main issues you need to think about when setting up and running a CSA. It has been produced as an updated and expanded version of *A Share in the Harvest - an Action Manual for Community Supported Agriculture* produced by the Soil Association. A second edition was published in 2012 as part of the Making Local Food Work project funded by the Big Lottery. A great many more CSAs have set up in the UK since 2012 and much has changed. So this guide aims to provide fresh information in new areas such as promoting your CSA via social media. Some of the other issues covered by the guide include: access to land, business plans, communications, events and educational activities, growing, keeping animals, insurance, legal structures, tools and volunteers.   We'll be sending this out for free to all our CSA Network UK farm members.   If you're not a member you can buy a copy for £15 including P&P or sign up as a member now via our website https://communitysupportedagriculture.org.uk/support_us/. Membership is just £25 a year for starter farms.   This guide has been produced thanks to funding from the Big Lottery Fund <https://www.facebook.com/BigLotteryFund/?fref=gs&hc_location=group_dialog> Awards for All, the Naturesave <https://www.facebook.com/NaturesaveInsurance/?fref=gs&hc_location=group_dialog> Trust and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation <https://www.facebook.com/Esm%C3%A9e-Fairbairn-Foundation-111122375638781/?fref=gs&hc_location=group_dialog> .   Also thanks to everyone who help create the guide including Charlotte Barry from Camel CSA, Joanne Mudhar from The Oak Tree Low Carbon Farm, Gareth Davies from Canalside CSA, Tony Little, Rich Gorman, Alison Belshaw and Rosie Blackburn and thanks to Walter Lewis for use of his photos which feature some of your CSA farms across the country.   NB if you're a member farm and don't need a printed copy - and would be happy with just the PDF version - please let us know so we can save on postage.   Thanks Maresa   -- *Maresa Bossano | CSA Network UK Co-ordinator *   *www.communitysupportedagriculture.org.uk <http://www.communitysupportedagriculture.org.uk>*
