Support local farms buying fresh

Carmen over at the ELFF Diet has a great new post on her blog about supporting local farmers by joining Community Supported Agriculture.

Joining a CSA creates a partnership between you and local farms. After becoming financially invested in your local farms, they will in turn supports you with a weekly basket of produce.

“By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become 'members' (or 'shareholders,' or 'subscribers') of the CSA.”
- Carmen

Take advantage of fresh produce in your area! Poke around at the CSA site. Search for local farmers markets in your area, or make contact to get involved with the program.
