Find your farm share!
ASAP’s annual CSA Fair is an opportunity to meet local farmers face-to-face and learn more about CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs. CSA members receive a weekly box of fresh, locally grown produce or meats throughout the growing season (learn more about CSAs here). Attendees can sign up for a CSA during the fair or follow up with farmers later. Participating farms include traditional produce CSAs as well as meat and flowers. All farms have pickup locations in Buncombe County and the surrounding region.
The 2021 CSA Fair took place virtually on March 10. You may contact the participating farms below to find out what CSA opportunities they still have available.
