Early on in the life of my CSA, before it became volunteer-run, it was overseen by a woman named Cara Fraver. Cara was an AmeriCorps VISTA member and worked with JustFood to get our CSA off the ground. Originally the CSA was called the Ravenswood CSA, as it was located at the Ravenswood Houses. Cara was terrific in the role of managing the CSA, and her dedication to it was part of why the CSA has become quite a success.
After a few years, she left the area and moved upstate, where she learned about farming, working on a number of local farms in her area. Recently I learned that she wants to start farming on her own, with her partner Luke. She has the name – Quincy Farm – and some startup capital, but no land. She’s looking for some. If you can help her, please contact her.
Good luck, Cara! You’re amazing!
