MENTOR PROGRAM

Starting a CSA can be exciting, but intimidating as well. Though Just Food can provide CSAs with many resources, such as our workshops and CSA Toolkit and Tipsheets, we believe the best resource is the first hand knowledge of another CSA and hands-on experience.  For this reason, we have created a mentor program for those interested in creating a new CSA to meet core members of pre-existing CSA sites. We aim to pair up a new CSA with a pre-existing CSA's core group that may share the same farmer or reside in similar neighborhoods. By participating in the mentor program as a "new CSA member", you can learn from pre-existing CSA sites through a variety of ways, such as volunteering at their site, attending community building events such as farm trips, and having communication with pre-existing core members to ask questions while you plan for your first CSA season.

If you would like to participate in this mentor program, as a new CSA or a mentor, please e-mail us.
