In my last post I mentioned that I've been craving fresh produce. So here's what I did about it.
From Local Harvest, here are the basics of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
Lida Farm offers CSA shares to people in the surrounding area, and I've signed up for their every-other-week option. Starting mid-June, I should start getting fresh fruits and vegetables harvested that day and shipped to me cross-county, not cross-country.
I'll let you know how it goes. I'm excited about the opportunity to support a local business and satisfy my cravings at the same time!
