Who Are We?
We Want Your Feedback!
NEW
The last few years we have all faced new challenges, and CSA is no different. We haven't had the opportunity to operate under "normal" circumstances. However, we have done our level best to get a whole new team up to speed, bring you an online shopping experience on our website, and provide new and helpful services including grocery delivery, recycling, and waste pickup. Additionally, we've assembled a group of English-Friendly businesses that are ready and willing to help with your day-to-day living here in Berlin.
We would love to hear how you think CSA has been doing and what you'd like to see from us in the future. Please take a few minutes to complete this online survey. It will take you less than 10 minutes. We want to be the best we can for our community, so here's your chance to let your voice be heard!
