Description

““On any Saturday morning in the quiet Massachusetts town of Hadley, you will find families arriving at the Next Barn Over to pick beans and strawberries from the fields, cut fresh herbs and flowers, and gather their weekly shares of potatoes, kale, onions, radishes, tomatoes and other produce. Next Barn Over is a CSA farm – Community Supported Agriculture – which means that people buy shares in the farm’s seasonal harvest, and then receive fresh produce weekly from April to November. In other words, CSAs pool the money – before production – and divide up the harvest among all members. This practice, is used in thousands of CSAs around the world, inspired us to identify “Pool, Cap & Divide Up” as an important feature of a commons economy.”
