"I was on the lookout for different marketing method, but that didn’t come to me for another little while. I had no way of knowing that in that 1986 season growers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire had independently come up with an alternative that would change the face of the farmer/eater relationship. ... Then came the Summer, 1987 issue of Biodynamics, the journal of the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, with an article by Jan VanderTuin about a concept, new to the U.S., called 'Community Supported Agriculture'.

The light strobed in my mind, dazzling me: here was a melding of Steiner’s agricultural insights and his Threefold Social Order, a cooperative venture between growers and their customers that resulted in a sacred compact— 'support my efforts and I will feed you to the best of my ability.' It removes from the equation the deadening competition between growers for the buyers’ dollars, the dreadful uncertainties of marketing, and opens the possibilities for the families who eat the food to see how it is grown, to help a little if they wish, to have a more comprehensive relationship with it. Go to the farm, kick the soil, taste it, inspect the chickens, sniff the compost pile; bring the children and pet the pig, sample the green beans—this is the reality folks, it’s got dirt on it, bugs over there, but it’s all of a piece, food without the packaging, the hype, the coupons and the adverts."

As told by Woody Wodraska in Chapter 8 of "Deep Gardening: Soul Lessons from 17 Gardens".
