Here in the southeastern Mass. CSA's are fantastic. In Dartmouth, Ma. we have two. They invite families to come and participate in the planting, growing and picking of the foods. When you go to pick up your share they also have things like fresh baked breads, pies and rolls. Homemade jams, jellies and fruit butters to spread on the fresh breads. The aroma pratically lifts you off your feet. The vegetables are not the only thing that you get when you join a CSA. You are supporting a farm. Making sure that the land is not developed into condo's or a subdivision. When a farm family makes a descent living they are able to keep that farm a farm. So as you join remember to make it a family event. Bring the children with you. Enjoy the farm, get a little dirty, laugh at the chickens, fill your body with fresh country air. In the evening when you are serving that delicious meal applaud yourself on a job well done. For today you have help build your community into a better place to live! Gina, Love your story.
