Our CSA program is a great way to lower your individual 'carbon footprint' and contribute to the sustainable farm movement. Besides the health benefits (personally/for your region/for the country/for the planet) there is the reality of actually making a difference in the world!! If we're going to collectively make an impact in the battle against global warming, it is going to begin with one individual and one farm at a time.
The food choices we make as a society is a "vote" on how we spend our food dollars and what we spend it on. Participating in a CSA is a statement for better quality food and against the status quo!
Vegetables consist of a cross-section of leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, etc. and is selected on a seasonal basis, i.e. what 'comes out of the ground' on that particular week.
We also try and include recipes from friends, other CSA members, etc., so people who may have never tried a certain vegetable before, will have an easy-to-follow recipe to try something new if they so desire.
