January Change for Change: Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture [CISA]

Our January Change for Change recipient is Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture, also known as CISA!

CISA strengthens farms and engages the community to build the local food economy. They began their work over 25 years ago, and thousands of people in our region have contributed to their success and impact. Additionally, more than 250 farms participate in their programs!

CISA's Be a Local Hero, Buy Locally Grown® program connects farmers and the community, improving farm business viability and enhancing the quality of life for residents across the region. Their other programs include Senior FarmShare, technical assistance for farms and food businesses, and research and support for local food and farm businesses of all kinds, including processors, distributors, and producers.
