Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farm operation that is supported by a community of individuals. As the farm yield becomes available, it is distributed to the community of supporters. With my particular CSA, One Straw Farm (click here for website), the vegetables are grown organically and I pick it up once a week.
I paid my share up front back in January (also the best price) and waited with great anticipation for June to arrive when the farm would start distribution.
So, here is today's market share:
Cucumbers, Zucchini, and Patty Pan Squash
Red Leaf Lettuce, Romaine, Beets, Onions, and Purple Cabbage
Not only is the quality outstanding, but I love the weekly surprise and then figuring out how to use it. Also, the cost works out to be very much comparable to what I would spend on produce that was of far less quality.
