Community Supported Agriculture

Community Supported Agriculture is something everyone should consider, particularly if you enjoy having fresh, seasonal produce in the house. This year, we bought a half share at a local farm and are greatly pleased with what we are getting. Last week our share included a head of green leaf lettuce, a big greenhouse tomato, bunch of swiss chard, bunch of beets (with yummy greens), a pint of red new potatoes and some zucchini and summer squash. Every week is different, depending on what has been freshly harvested and what is in plentiful supply. The shares run for about 20-22 weeks and our half share was $300 total. That's a bargain in my opinion and I'm pleased to help out a local farm.
