Abstract: CSA farms establish a loyal customer base and, potentially, market power. Two new empirical industrial organization (NEIO) approaches and survey data from Northeast CSA farms are used to determine the presence and extent of market power. Results suggest CSA farms exert only about 3.5 percent of their potential monopoly power.
