The Atlantic Canadian Organic Regional Network (ACORN) is hosting a workshop in Advanced Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in Truro, NS at the Holiday Inn, 1-5pm, 26 Feb 09. The event is part of ACORN's Organic Conference and Trade Show.

The workshop will feature Jean-Paul Courtens and Jody Bolluyt who run the community-supported Roxbury Farm in New York state. Jean-Paul and Jody will discuss their particular model and how they grew the CSA from just 30 members in 1991, to over 1000 members today. Roxbury also relies on its members to organize sub-groups for membership drives and distribution - a model that Atlantic Canada could utilize. The workshop will also discuss alternative models, pricing, and production.
