Our CSA program is a great way to lower your individual 'carbon footprint' and contribute to the sustainable farm movement. Besides the health benefits (personally/for your region/for the country/for the planet) there is the reality of actually making a difference in the world!! If we're going to collectively make an impact in the battle against global warming, it is going to begin with one individual and one farm at a time.
The food choices we make as a society is a "vote" on how we spend our food dollars and what we spend it on. Participating in a CSA is a statement for better quality food and against the status quo!
Vegetables consist of a cross-section of leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, etc. and is selected on a seasonal basis, i.e. what 'comes out of the ground' on that particular week. Generally, 6-9 vegetables and a serving of fruit (i.e. quart of berries or 6 apples, or 5 peaches in a full-share/pint of berries, 4 apples, 3-4 peaches in a medium-share.)
We also try and include recipes from friends, other CSA members, etc., so people who may have never tried a certain vegetable before, will have an easy-to-follow recipe to try something new, if they so desire.
