At CISA we take a grounded visionary approach to all of our work by solving today’s problems while looking towards future challenges. It is a world where more food and farm products are locally produced, farmers have the skills and resources to sustain their businesses and the land and all community residents have access to locally grown farm products.
We believe that:
-Diverse and prosperous farms are essential to the economic health and environmental quality of our region.
When our farmers can successfully bring food and other products to markets that reach all people in our communities, we all benefit.
-When our communities have a deep understanding of the local farming economy, all of our farmers benefit.
-By connecting farmers, neighbors, and communities, CISA sustains local agriculture and enhances the long-term health of our communities.
