Cultivating a Successful CSA
with Production Efficiencies and Standard Operating Procedures: On-Farm Field Day

10/20/21, 10:00 AM – 11 AM PST

University of Kentucky’s Organic Farming Unit

Lexington KY

The success of any CSA depends heavily on the planning, organization, and efficiency of the farm operations and its people – a process that’s been analyzed, documented, and improved consistently for over a decade at the UK Organic Farming Unit.

Join Kristi Durbin, UK’s CSA Manager, as she shares the importance of data collection, documentation, and evaluation to improve procedures and efficiencies from field to harvest, including an overview of the crop planning and planting resources that she’s meticulously curated.  Kristi will offer lessons learned regarding scaling up a CSA, training workers, packaging, and presentation.

Funding for this event was made possible by the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service.
