CSA.....Community Supported Agriculture
Does anybody participate (or buy into, or whatever term is appropriate) in one of these programs?
I'm EXCITED! After my home garden flopped for the very first time last Summer, I decided I would give a CSA a try if I got off the mailing list and onto their customer list. Well, I just received an email from a local farm and I SIGNED UP!!! I'm pumped! I bought a 1/2 share, which is enough veggies for a couple. It lasts approximately 20 weeks (in 'full basket mode' that is), and they harvest about 30 different kinds of veggies. She told me that my first 'small' basket can be expected about mid-February, and will last till about November!!!!!!! As far as I'm concerned, that's MUCH longer than the 20 weeks!
HOW EXCITING IS THAT??? I'm super excited to be doing something to contribute to the growth and survival of farms in my area!!!!!
