Basically you buy a share in a farm and they give you a box of produce each week. Usually farms that offer CSA options are organic. I learned about them when I read _The Omnivore's Dilemma_ by Michael Pollan. CSA are supposed to be really good for the environment (not just because they are organic) because they help cut back on fossil fuels. Buying local also strengthens local economies and puts money back into farms without government subsidies--which is a plus in my book. Google it or check out the Pollan's book. I PROMISE it will change the way you think about food!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214008384316494193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336931173750264195.post-14139518120058612232009-01-04T00:33:00.000-07:002009-01-04T00:33:00.000-07:00Wow, it sounds amazing!
