World's Largest CSA Gives Up Some 'High-Church Ethics' to Make 50K Weekly Deliveries

The time is now to join a CSA. If you procrastinate, you may miss out and have to wait until the next growing cycle to buy a share.

I’m sure that’s why this Denmark operation, Aarstiderne, is getting attention these days from places like the Huffington Post and American Farmland Trust.

The company delivers weekly boxes to 45,000 families in Denmark and another 5,000 in Sweden.

To meet that kind of demand and grow, Aarstiderne’s founder Thomas Harttung says he’s “had to give up some of the high-church ethics of a CSA and adopt a more ecumenical approach.”

Harttung says “to really change things, we cannot preach to a very small congregation. We must deliver a message about organic food to a broader audience.”
