Grant Farms CSA

This is my first year participating in a CSA program. I didn't really know what to expect, but I was tired of trying to find fresh local produce in the stores. My parents shared a "Small Share" with my husband and I. With the wonderful bounty this year, it was just about the right amount. We pick our share up at the farm itself and often see people working hard in the fields. I wish there were some way we could thank them all! Everyone works so hard and all we have to do is pick up our box, transfer the contents, take it all home and wash it. A really small price to pay for food that tastes so much better because it is fresh! And when I think about how little we paid for it, all the more amazing. We could easily spend $30/week for the same organic produce in the store and we are getting it fresh for 30% less! Not only that, but we have found unexpected gifts in our boxes every now and then such as free eggs.

Grant Farms is also truly community oriented. Harvestival 2009 was a blast (even though a tad cold but that made it even more exciting), the farm tour in the Spring was fun, and Grant Farms' participation in the "Kickstands and Cornstalks" tour was a great idea (wish I could have gone to that one!)
