I am new to the Dominican Republic, my wife and I have a farm near La Romana. At the moment we don't have the funds to move there and start working the land.
A CSA is a farm that sells shares in the corps grown, distributed weekly to homes or pick up points.
Crops of fruit and veg, herbs, eggs, milk and meats if the demand is there or if share holders want it.
I see it as a way of getting the farm working, giving families fresh organic/ free range produce at a below market prices. To known where their food comes from and how it's grown. Also to teach others farming methods with out harmful chemicals and fertilizers.
My question is.
Is there any CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) projects going in the Dominican Republic?
What is the demand for fresh organic produce, grown local?
Would love any input or comments.
