CSA Project- This is a project meaning "Community Supported Agriculture."
Who.... We now have many schools getting involved in our CSA program. We are very excited to see new growth. We have about 80 schools, 3 businesses, and 3 chruches enjoying our wonderful program. Don't miss out.
What it is... The basic concept is Tanaka Farms drops off boxes of produce to the schools, the schools have volunteers to distribute the boxes to the participating families.
When.... Boxes are dropped off on a weekly planned day after school is let out.
Where.... The parking lot of the schools
Why... Many people are in to healthy eating and us at Tanaka Farms want to help promote healthy eating habits to the children of our future. This is also a fundraiser to the schools that partcipate.
