Helena Local’s mission is to offer sustainable, locally grown products to benefit the community, economy, and environment. We strive to:

• Offers farm-to-table quality, fresh-picked, superior-tasting and sustainably grown products to the Helena Local members
• Helps small-scale local growers earn a living wage
• Reduces “Food Miles” which lessen our community’s environmental impact
• Reduces waste with little or no packaging material
• Promotes a healthy lifestyle
• Contributes to our local economy
• Promotes agricultural land use, which preserves habitat and the local landscape

CSA’s are different from community to community, but at the core they consist of families and individuals of a community who are committed to support their local farmers for a season. By doing so, those families and individuals get a share of vegetables that is determined by what is currently ready to harvest. This results in fresher tastier food reaching the tables of the people participating in the CSA.
