  | Join a CSA ~ Community Supported Agriculture My daughter and I joined a CSA last year and enjoyed 22 weeks of reasonably priced farm-fresh organic fruits, and vegetables, plus eggs, yogurt, cheese, honey and granola from Norwich Meadows Farm. Our 2014 share was so generous, I was able to freeze some and enjoy the harvest long after the season ended. (The two photos to the left are from one week's share!) We're looking forward to the start of the 2015 season! Click here to learn more about Community Supported Agriculture and to find a CSA near you. |
