Funded by donations from within the Black community to feed the Black community
community supported agriculture (CSA) was pioneered by Dr. Booker T. Whatley, a black horticulturist at Tuskegee university in 1960s. Whatley created what he called the "clientele membership club": members paid upfront for the season and picked their own produce, giving farmers steady income and the community fresh food, direct from the source.
