Sign up for a CSA

Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

When you join a Community Supported Agriculture group (CSA) you pay a fixed seasonal fee to a local farmer in exchange for a weekly share of the harvest, which is delivered to a location near your home. This option for getting greener, cleaner, locally grown food is popular, so don't wait. Today, challenge yourself to find out more about local CSAs.

    Until recently, I’ve been part of a WONDERFUL CSA for several years. The one right now around me is just not up to snuff in terms of quality, quantity or variety. So, I figured that I’d put more effort into my veggie garden this year and into our local farmer’s market. Otherwise, a CSA is such a good thing to get involved in. My kids loved (love) helping to pick produce, etc.

    we’ve belonged to a CSA for two years now. Not only are we supporting local farms but we have been challenged to try some veggies that we have not previously tried. The CSA we belonged to for the last two years provided recipes. We are switching this year as there is now one even closer to home for us. This one promises some interesting extras-freshly canned tomato sauce etc. Suggest you look for CSA’s that have a good mix of veggies and fruits. We also found talking to other people that it is important to choose one that will let you exchange things you just can’t use (both of ours have done this).

    I researched two local CSA farms! Too late for the 2009 season, but am definately intending to proceed for 2010. Meantime I will be following their season on the website and will plan to visit the closest farm. This is something I have been wanting to do so thanks for your challenge to get me going.
