Local Agriculture

I've been talking about organic groceries, and also about buying local. Local Harvest is a great resource for finding local organic produce from small farms near you. There are literally thousands of sources listed. We found a farmers market just about 2 miles from our house on this site, and also discovered Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). If you haven't heard of a CSA, they are membership programs in which you buy "shares" (a full or a half, usually). Each week you stop by the market and pick up a box of whatever is in season.

So, check out your farmers' market or jump right into a local CSA.
