BFBLN Member Farmers' Markets & CSAs
Over the past ten years, the number of farmers’ markets has grown rapidly here in Nebraska, and they keep growing with each new market season. Towns that have never hosted a local farmers’ market, now have busy weekly markets, offering food grown in or near their community and encouraging their community to eat healthier and build a vigorous local economy.
Farmers' Markets
Farmer's Markets will strengthen community ties by providing a venue for Nebraska farmers to sell their product directly to consumers while providing opportunities for the consumer to learn more about locally grown product directly from the farmer. This relationship will promote a greater sense of community, foster local business development, educate the community about the importance of buying local, and encourage social gathering.

Community Supported Agriculture
Here are the basics: you develop a relationship with the farmer who grows your food and learn more about how food is grown. The farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
