Join a CSA Today



Joining a CSA is a great way to get your vegetables and it ensures you that what you are eating is being grown locally and without all the extra pesticides that most supermarket (non-organic) products use. Along with the obvious health benefits that come from these foods you get a great variety as you are eating what is in season and you are helping you local economy! Searching for local CSAs isn't difficult, but oftentimes there are only a certain amount of shares available so looking into it early in the season is important.

I joined a local CSA (Wholesome Harvest) for the first time this year and so far the vegetables have not disappointed. Lots of great greens and even some fresh strawberries! This week was a nice selection;

•Arugula
•Mesclun Mix
•Asparagus
•Green Leaf Lettuce
•Radishes

Good luck finding your own CSA and remember, you're helping yourself and your local farmers which is a wonderful thing!
