Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 3615676, member: 25"] A CSA is Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, you give a local farm money in the spring. I pat 425.00 for a half share. I think it's like 750.00 for a full share. A full is more than enough for a voracious family of 4, and probably too much even then. It's 20 weeks from June to October and they use your money to help maintain their farm and you get fresh produce every week. This week, I got: A head of romaine lettuce A small carton of baby eggplants (10-12) A large bunch of scallions 2 yellow squash / 2 zuccini A head of Napa cabbage (been making kimchi the last month) 2 onions and 2 heads of garlic 2 medium sized sunflowers (every week you get sunflowers or you can pick a bunch of fresh flowers) They have a huge herb area that you can help yourself to. You name it, they grow it. They have a pick your own area. I rarely go out there because I don't feel like picking my own most days, but they will have snap peas, shishito peppers, green beans, raspberries, etc. You can usually pick a pint of each. They also have things, if you're interested, like a chef will come in and prepare a dinner using just picked ingredients and teach a class on cooking it. You pay extra, I haven't gone, but if you're into that thing I'm sure it's cool. All this for what? 20-something bucks a week. [/QUOTE]
