I recently co-authored a Manual on Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) that was designed specifically to guide those
growers and community members interested in setting up a CSA. The
Manual was drawn mostly from our own experiences running a CSA for
several years in eastern Ontario. It is practical and relevant
primarily for small to medium scale growers. The Manual is called
"Our Field" and is available from myself. I can be reached at the

> Hi,

> The Midwest SAWG is working on a direct marketing resource notebook. We want

> sustainable ag organizations and producers who have embarked on creative
> direct marketing projects. (Direct marketing, in this case, includes CSA. We
> are also interested in examples of marketing cooperatives.) Our intent is
> that these stories can be used to give people new ideas, help them with their
> own direct marketing efforts, and provide networking opportunities.
>
> If you are doing any kind of direct marketing work, or if you are working on
> a related project, please send us your story (or stories). We want to know
> what you are doing, what got you interested in direct marketing, how you got
> started, best and worst moments, how its going now, what you wish you had
> done differently, and anything else you wish to share.
