1. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Did you know that a tomato usually travels about 1,300 miles from where it is
grown to your salad bowl? Consider an alternative. Join a CSA farm, and join
thousands of others who want to support local farmers while receiving
delicious, healthy and, above all, fresh produce all season long. With your
subscription, you purchase a “share” of the produce harvest, or a weekly
portion from someone you come to know and trust. Some farms also offer fruit,
herbs, flowers and other products.
