I am so happy to have a *local* CSA where I get my fruits and vegetables! I know that my food has a tiny carbon footprint, as compared to the produce that people buy in supermarkets.
The other great thing about The Growing Experience are some of the unusual heirloom varieties I get to try. Apple mint? Yacon? Purple carrots? Never knew about any of this before I joined. It's very exciting.
I tell lots of other Long Beach residents about TGE. It's hard to contain my enthusiasm!
