Robyn Van En was a founder of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), an organization that helps organic farms cope with the expenses of organic farming methods. She hosted the organization's first initiative on her Indian Line Farm in Massachusetts. Later, she helped create more than 200 other CSA farms as she travelled across the United States, proselytizing fresh, local, organic produce. [1] She also travelled abroad to Russia, Canada, South America, Africa, New Zealand, Russia, and Hungary, leading to more than 1,200 active CSAs. [2]
"With access to a farm, many are dazzled by the bounty and wonders of nature. I love to see grown people awed by the delicate beauty of a carrot seedling." ~Robyn Van En
