This is our journey in enjoyment and experimentation with a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program at the workplace – so far it’s really catching on! Most of us have never participated in a CSA before so we decided to blog about our excitement, confusion, tips and discoveries related to the farm fresh bounty that is delivered to us each week.
For our group it started with a lecture given by a local farmer and CSA organizer – Farmer Donna. She hooked some of us immediately with the idea that we could eat fresh fruits and veggies that were harvested the day before they were delivered to us; she reeled in a few more with the notion that CSA participants know exactly where their produce is coming from and can trust the integrity of ORGANIC labeling from her farm; and the skeptics signed up after they tasted real home-grown tomatoes and oranges and saw what beautiful, bountiful produce came in just one box a week.
We’re learning as we go, but one thing is for sure - we’re helping each other, helping the community and eating better together.
