Support available to new and existing CSAs

[Mark Simmonds]

There is a cornucopia of free support available to start-up and existing CSAs who are undertaking an organisational development, such as expansion or re-organisation.


The Enterprise Support strand of Making Local Food Work is continuing to offer the following support until August 2013:

• Specialist business advice - up to 4 days support from a specialist advisor
• Mentoring - receive support and advice from an existing practitioner in your field
• Study Visits - subsidised travel to another CSA to benefit from their experience

This support is targetted at any community food enterprise. For more details visit www.makinglocalfoodwork.co.uk/enterprise

The Co-operative Enterprise Hub can offer up to 4 days specialist co-operative business development advice to your CSA if it is a co-operative and most of you are.
