Why Flexibility is Key to the New CSA Model

Today's consumers demand more customization in everything, including their food. They want the freedom to choose what goes into their weekly shares, tailoring it to their tastes and dietary needs.

These microorganisms are responsible for the bread's distinctive tangy flavor and airy texture.
