Community Supported Agriculture

I recently gave a speech in my Public Speaking class on Grass fed vs Grain fed beef.  It was eye opening to say the least!  During my research I stumbled upon something very interesting.  CSA's, or Community Supported Agriculture, are an interesting option for those wanting to eat fresh and organic.  The idea is that you pay a share for a season of fresh, varied vegetables and fruit- straight from the farm.  Pick up is usually once a week and you can even opt for 1/2 and 1/4 shares to fit your budget.  Take a look at the website and the options in your area....

I also happened upon this gem of a site.... http://www.pickyourown.org/index.htm#states
I am a HUGE fan of pick-you-own!   You can bet on me and the kiddos will be out there soon picking raspberries and strawberries.
