We joined a summer CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)

We just joined a summer CSA for $250.  I just purchased a half share this summer to see how it goes.  Plus we grow some of our own veggies in our backyard so I don't want too much food.  CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.  It is a great way to support local farming and reduce carbon emissions (AKA- from shipping food and driving all over the place.)  It is important to me that my family does our part to improve the health of our environment and ourselves.  This is one small step in that direction.  And, the food from the CSA we joined is organically grown -  even better!
