Resumo: The Community Sustaining Agriculture (CSA) is an expanding worldwide phenomenon, based on the commercialization of agroecological products. Founded on principles of trust and reciprocity, the aim is to build work in a sense of community. In this context, the article aimed to understand, in the light of social representations, how CSAs organize themselves and influence the construction of communities to operationalize their actions and sustain the dynamics and principles of these experiences. Through a qualitative investigation in two organizations, the results indicated that farmers and co-producers who remained close to the work organization had a greater sense of community than those who limited themselves to buying and selling relationships. In addition, the CSA, which adopted practices in the effort to establish solidary and cooperative relationships, recorded lower turnover and economic loss, which can be concluded that the feeling of community is a relevant element for the sustainability of solidary organizations in mercantile contexts. Keywords: Social Representation. CSA. Solidarity Organizations.

A través de una investigación cualitativa en dos organizaciones, los resultados indicaron que los agricultores y coproductores que se mantuvieron cercanos a la organización del trabajo tenían un mayor sentido de comunidad que aquellos que se limitaban a relaciones de compra y venta. Además, la CSA, que adoptó prácticas en el esfuerzo por establecer relaciones solidarias y cooperativas, registró menor rotación y pérdida económica, por lo que se puede concluir que el sentimiento de comunidad es un elemento relevante para la sostenibilidad de las organizaciones solidarias en contextos mercantiles.
