Area's community-supported farms taking root

By Edward Colimore

When Bob and Leda Muth started their business in Gloucester County eight years ago, there weren't many farmers like them.

They set up a community-supported-agriculture (CSA) enterprise in Williamstown that sold memberships to people interested in getting fresh produce every week.

Today, more than 400 members each spend $250 to $639 - depending on their plan - to pick up supplies of vegetables and fruits over 16 weeks. Hundreds of others are on a waiting list to join.
