Sign Up for a Local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
Hi All!
It's summertime! With summer, comes delicious and nutritious foods from the farm.
To enjoy the great local food in your area visit www.localharvest.org! It is a great website for finding farmers markets, family farms and CSAs near you! Personally, I pick up my two bags of groceries every Saturday morning for $25 and get an assortment of yummy foods from local farmers. My girls love going with me to pick up our "food from the farmers" and then I make a full meal entirely from my CSA food on either Saturday or Sunday night for the family. Actually, we might enjoy a bottle of wine with the meal as well which is not included in the CSA:)
So, try to buy local whenever possible to support the local environment, economy and community and decrease the number of "food miles" to your plate.
Happy Eating!
