Certainly,   it means Community Sponsored Agriculture!

The ideas that formed the first two American CSAs were articulated in the 1920s by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), and then actively cultivated in post-WW II Europe in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The modern CSA originated in Japan.  In 1971, Teruo Ichiraku (1906–1994), a philosopher and a leader of agricultural cooperatives, alerted consumers to the dangers of the chemicals used in agriculture and set off the movement for an organic agriculture.

Fortunately, for residents of New Mexico, Thomas Swendson moved to New Mexico from Colorado in 2010 and spent the next decade learning a uniquely New Mexico background in food systems. In 2019 he took over ownership of the oldest CSA in the state, Beneficial Farms, established in 1994.  "New Mexico Harvest is my commitment to carry on the traditions and history our community has with its farmers and see it last beyond our generation’s time. We have all had a different journey that brought us together, and through the food of our land we are united."   - Thomas Swendson

Following in the Footsteps of Thomas, Matt's Mushroom Farm, while being one of NM Harvest's Farmer Providers, Matt Mushroom Farms is offering a Mushroom CSA, also.

Also,  means Caring Sharing Awards!

Caring: the work or practice of looking after those unable to care for themselves, especially sick and elderly people. Caring applies also to the environment, for all of life and future generations,

Sharing: Imagine what the world would look like if we trusted more people! If we opened up more to others, they would likely do the same with us. Sharing gives us the opportunity to shed some of our suspicions of people. It's a great way to extinguish our doubt about what's good in the world. It is the joy people sharing feel when we see the happiness we have brought someone else. Not only does sharing bring us joy, it teaches us the importance of taking care of others.
