As a member you are in a very direct way having the farmer work his land for you. So you are in effect sharing the risk that the farmer takes every time he plants his crops. If there is bad weather, blight or infestation that causes either poor yields or even rarer a complete crop failure the entire CSA feels the pain of the farmer and his inability to deliver everything he planted for the season. While these situations are rare they can happen and this is why we ask our CSA members to agree to our terms and conditions of membership. However the inverse is true, if the farmer has a truly bountiful year the members will benefit from it.
