Slow Food Cape Town runs a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) vegetable project which connects urban Capetonians with local, small scale, emerging organic farmers.
CSA members pay in advance to share in the farmer's harvest, and receive a share every week through a veggie box scheme. The members can attend farm outings to meet the farmers and learn how their food is grown, and stay in touch via a weekly e-newsletter and blog, which explains the impact the weather and other forces have on the farm and crops, gives info about the farmers, and lets members share recipes and their experiences.
