The Robyn Van En Center is a national resource center about Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) for people across the nation and around the world. The center provides outreach and works to gain publicity about CSA farms in order to benefit community farmers and communities everywhere.
Since the late Robyn Van En introduced the CSA concept in 1985, the movement has spread throughout North America. The Robyn Van En Center, based at Wilson College, maintains a national database that now includes more than 1,600 CSA farms. The center helps bring farmers and communities together, as well as provides resources for those in search of information pertaining to the CSA movement.
Wilson College also hosts a 100-share CSA program at the Fulton Center for Sustainable Living. We are farmers, students, eaters and advocates for small, local and sustainable agriculture.
