How Do You Join A CSA Co-Op Farm?
Fresh, local produce is great for your family and the environment. In fact, buying local (and organic when possible) is one of the top new healthy lifestyle trends. To make buying local even easier, maybe you should consider joining a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm. You get fresh produce for a low price while supporting your community! Step 1 Decide what kind of CSA will suit your needs. Is organic produce important to you? If so, remember that not all CSAs are also organic (though many are). Do you want more than just fruit and vegetables? Many CSAs also offer jams, milk, eggs, pies, flowers, and more. How much effort are you willing to put in? Some CSAs want members who will help work the farm. Many require you to at least go to the farm to pick up your produce. However, there are still others that will deliver fresh produce right to your door! Step 2 Search for local CSAs.
