Community Subscription Agriculture - A Delicious Local Resource:
Four local organic growers describe the benefits of Community Subscription Agriculture (CSA) and their work producing heirloom fruits and
vegetables - and even the ingredients in pizza! CSA - an increasingly popular national trend in healthful food production - is a type of growing-season partnership in which subscriber investments support local
growers and the local economy, in return for regular supplies of fresh, healthful food from about mid-May into November. Do you know where your food comes from? This year, it could come from the farm of one of these
skillful and commited growers, working near your neighborhood!
