In the Summer 1987 issue of Biodynamics, Jan VanderTuin introduced North American farmers and consumers to the concept of community supported agriculture (CSA) - a concept which, over the next two decades, flourished and entered into the mainstream consciousness.

The Spring 2008 issue of Biodynamics not only celebrates the success of the CSA concept, but also considers its implementation and asks how we may develop a truly integrated associative economy.

Select articles are available online in PDF format, as well as weekly CSA farm highlights and further background information (including VanderTuin's original article, which will be available May 1). Check back for regular updates! Recent news on CSAs and related issues can be viewed in the news archives.

By becoming a member in the Association, you will receive four issues of Biodynamics each year, as well as discounts on literature and other benefits. Upcoming issues of Biodynamics will feature more on associative economics by Gary Lamb, Robert Karp, and Hartmut von Jeetze, as well as information on biodynamic agriculture research (Summer 2008) and opportunities for new farmers (Fall 2008). Member donations help the Association pursue communications and education, regional outreach, resource development, and training initiatives. We're planning many projects in celebration of our 70th year. Your contribution makes a difference!
