Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) connects farmers and local people who want fresh food. I personally find the food more fresh and delicious, and I learn more ways to cook. I think the CSA actually saves what I would have spent on fresh food at the grocery store.
Click here and search for a local farm that delivers fresh food. I skipped the first question, “What are you looking for?”, answered the second question with a zip code, selected “CSA” for the third question, and clicked “Search”. Adjusting the radius “within 30 miles” to “within 250 miles” may help find a farm that delivers to a location actually much closer to you (than 250 miles).
