MASTERCLASS: Measuring the Social Impact of your CSA
Excellent!
no one is going to talk about his eyebrows? also, I still admire the way the British speak.
Might be an idea to change your acronym, given what else CSA means...
@chagfood I’d be interested to know who you invited to the community meeting please as I’m looking to start a CSA based on around 1 to 3 acres in Monmouthshire. I am reading through resources on the CSA Uk Network website, but would love to connect with others who’ve successfully done it. I’ve been offered land to rent but it feels a mammoth task yet on my own 😬 Many thanks for any advice that you can offer!
Do you need the land first to start a CSA?
Not necessarily. If you don't have the land yet, you could start by setting up the business or by holding a community consultation. For instance, you could hold an event in a community hall to find others who would be interested in collaborating with you. Our course covers land and site as well as business and finance considerations so it's definitely useful to do ahead of getting the land.
P.S. it is the Gower Peninsula but it's just Gower not The Gower i.e. on the Gower Peninsula or on Gower.
Great video and tour of the local CSAs :-)
