If you want to become a better cook, join a CSA.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way for consumers to buy a stake in a specific farm’s crops for the season. The basics of the program are as follows: consumers buy a share in the spring, giving the farm an infusion of cash when they need it most; the farm provides members with a portion of the farm’s output each week for usually around twenty weeks. Lots of programs offer add-ons like eggs, flowers, fruit, meat, and grains, if not sourced from their farm, then from neighboring farms with similar growing practices.
