A perfect way for you to get fresh, seasonal produce is to become a member of a CSA - Community Supported Agriculture. When you become a CSA member to a particular farm, you are buying a share of the season's harvest. A CSA is all about offering what the season brings. As a member, your money goes to operating the farm -- seeds, equipment maintenance, labor, and so on . And in return, you get a bagful of freshly picked produce. So...
You are eating with the seasons.
Your food couldn't be fresher.
You can build a relationship with the person growing your food.
You can know exactly how your food is grown (organic, without pesticides and fertilizers, etc.)
You support small, local business and they support you.
Doesn't that sound wonderful?
KYV Farm is a local (for you Northeastern Floridians) organic family farm/CSA. I found it in my search for locating the local for next month's challenge. I'm thrilled to have found this local jewel! I'm going to take a tour of the farm sometime soon. Anyone want to join?
Only ONE week until the local food eating challenge begins!
What a good idea!!
