CISA (Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture)
Community Spotlight: March 2024
Who They Are
CISA (Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture) strengthens farms and engages the community to build the local food economy. CISA has been working for over 30 years to build a stronger, more resilient, and more just local food system. They envision a local food system where farms are viable, working conditions are fair and just for owners and workers, the environment is respected, and locally grown food is available for all.
Their Story
We spoke with Kate Hennessey, CISA’s Development Coordinator, about the organization’s mission and impact throughout the Connecticut River Valley.
Collaboration with Sanctuary
On March 30th, Sanctuary will host a free yoga class—led by Sanctuary yoga instructors—and networking hour for farmers. This event is free and open to all farm owners and farm workers. CISA staff will be on site to answer questions about their services.
