The LocalHarvest Blog

Welcome back to the LocalHarvest newsletter.

As we move toward Spring, CSA sign-up season continues and so too our series of articles about community supported agriculture. This month, we focus on the human bonds that sometimes take root in a CSA. After talking with several farmers about the friendship, cooperation and community growing on their farms, we feel like the farm's most valuable "product" may be the relationships it fosters, with exceptional produce being a happy byproduct. This is a poetic viewpoint, I know, and not one that accurately describes all CSAs. Still, read about what is going on at Terra Bella Family Farm and A Place on Earth CSA, and see if you don't agree that these CSAs offer an unparalleled opportunity for people to find a piece of the "something more" that so many of us seek.

Happy Spring, and long, light days to all.
Take good care and eat well –
