The John Givens Farm – where I’ve been shooting for the past few weeks – is the focus of my project of the story behind a CSA box. Below are a few photos that I’ve already taken of people doing anything from washing vegetables to put in the boxes, to assembling the boxes, to picking them up.
Eric, on the left, and his father Jesus, on the right, wash carrots that will later be put into CSA boxes.
Carolyn Givens, daughter-in-law of John Givens, and her assistant Katie assemble about 100 boxes every Wednesday morning that are then picked up by subscribers or delivered for a small fee.
The two children of one subscriber wait for their Mom on the loading dock, where vegetables are packaged for other deliveries.
