    Proposal summary:

    A series of day-long intensive mini-schools will teach the basics of Community Supported Agriculture to prospective or new CSA growers. The success of a new CSA project, given the complexities and relative newness of the model, can be greatly enhanced by an understanding of the fundamentals.
