ASAP’s CSA Fair, offered virtually this year, 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.
