The Overlooked History of the CSA
Dr. Booker T. Whatley, 1915–2005
As with much of American history, the contributions of African-American innovators in agriculture are vastly overlooked. Horticulturist, professor, and author Dr. Booker T. Whatley is known as the father of the modern CSA. Working at the Tuskegee Institute in the early 1970s, he developed an economic framework for small-scale Black farmers that championed crop diversification, direct marketing, and community investment, the seeds of what we now call Community Supported Agriculture.
His vision was simple and radical: let the community invest directly in the farm, share in its risks and rewards, and close the distance between the hands that grow the food and the people it nourishes. That vision lives in every CSA share we offer.
