Locally Produced Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)/ Food Buying Clubs
in the Bismarck-Mandan Area
A CSA is a farm arrangement where members purchase a "share" of the farm's harvest, often in
advance, and in return receive a share of the farm’s produce, usually each week during the growing
season, or sometimes longer if the produce is preserved. The benefits of the farm are shared, and so
are the risks.
A buying club co-operative is a group of people who come together to find food from a food
producer who makes food available for pick-up, but may not sell the food in a setting such as a
grocery store. There may be other buying clubs in the area, but we are featuring only those who
grow food in the Bismarck- Mandan area.

Agriculture’s Local Foods Directory, Southwest Region, at
