For Wellness Resources:

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) at UCSB

CSA at UCSB gives students, staff, and faculty the opportunity to invest in an organic farmer from Goleta, John Givens, and get a fresh box of produce weekly. The benefits of CSA are numerous. As a CSA member, you receive boxes of fresh, seasonal and organic produce, reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to transporting food, reduce solid waste due to less packaging, and aid community building through supporting a local business.

You can choose from 2 box sizes, regular and large. The boxes are dropped off every Thursday at the UCSB Mosher Alumni House from 12pm-1pm.

For more information, you can reach us at: universitycsa@gmail.com or 805-893-3640
