CSA Admin

CSA Admin is an open-source web application designed to manage Community Supported Agriculture (CSA / ACP / Solawi) organizations. It centralizes membership, delivery scheduling, invoicing and member communications for small-to-medium CSA operations.

Key Features

• Member and subscription management (registration forms, waiting lists, trial baskets, support members, add-ons).
• Advanced delivery schedule management (multiple frequencies, special needs, automatic absence deductions).
• Automated billing (QR-reference invoices, payment statement import via EBICS, reminders) and renewal workflows.
• Built-in online shop for add-on products with stock management.
• Activity and participation management (member shifts, registrations, validations).
• Multilingual interface and integrated email/newsletter system.

Use Cases

• Associations or cooperatives managing member subscriptions, recurring deliveries and basket allocation.
• Automating invoicing, bank statement reconciliation and end-of-year renewals to reduce manual billing work.
• Operating an online member shop and coordinating member participation (field work, packing days).

Limitations and Considerations

• The repository indicates the default setup uses SQLite and SolidQueue/ActiveJob for async jobs; this configuration may limit horizontal scaling without additional configuration or switching to a server-grade RDBMS and background queue.
• There is no public live demo site; demos are provided by request through the project website/contact.

CSA Admin is a focused, feature-rich tool for managing CSA operations with multilingual support and built-in invoicing and shop functionality. It is open-source and maintained to support the specific workflows of community-supported agriculture organizations.
