Not familiar with the term. Assume it to be Farmer's Market.

I drink a lot of Pinon and a lot of Gruet in the summer. They are
both outstanding values and for my tastes, they are both delicious,
food freindly and fun to drink.

Larry,
CSA (Community-Suppported Agriculture) is a USDA-funded program to
help support small farmers. The way it works is by subscription: we buy
a share of the output before the growing season starts and then get a
"basket" every week with produce. It's a good deal financially, it
helps the farmer and it encourages us to branch out in our use of
produce ("Quick! Let's think of another use for kohlrabi!" ;-)) The guy
we deal with is at our local farmer's markets, too, but using his CSA we
are assured of getting the choicest things from his farm, such as the
fresh asparagus this week and fresh berries when in season.

I'd recommend the film The Real Dirt on Farmer John to anyone with an
interest.
