The Michigan CSA Network (MICSA) is a forum for farmers and support organizations involved in community supported agriculture (CSA) to meet, learn, collaborate and network to achieve the goals of small farm viability and increased food access and equity. Michigan State University (MSU) Extension, in partnership with Michigan Food and Farming Systems, Taste the Local Difference and Michigan Farmers Market Association, currently coordinates and convenes the network, supported by funding from a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Market Promotion Program grant.

If you are a CSA farmer or support organization looking to get involved with the network, the easiest way to make sure you receive information about upcoming network meetings, news and events is to join the new MICSA listserv. This listserv can also be used to reach out to other network members to receive feedback on CSA-related questions.
