Going to Join a CSA

January 8th, 2008 at 05:18 pm

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. I am thinking of joining one that will provide eggs and any meat I could want (they are a heritage poultry farm but they have alliances with beef and buffalo farms as well).

Obviously this won't save me money over buying the processed stuff but it may be cheaper than the stuff from organic stores. Even if its a little more, its definitely better for all involved.

I will be doing Farmer's Markets this year as well but have to wait till May for those.

Its only been recently that all our groceries have been conventional and I only did that to get our budget under control. Now that the budget is where it should be, its time to see if I can integrate local, chemical free foods without blowing our budget.

Now if I could just find someone to deliver milk...

    I recommend it! I joined a fruit-and-vegetable CSA last year and just renewed for '08. Though you're not saving money over buying cheap crappy food, you will get a really good value for the money since you're buying straight from the farmer, essentially--and buying local is a good deed environmentally and in many other ways.

    I've considered joining a CSA for two or three years now but the prices are pretty prohibitive here. I'm still thinking about it, though. I do like the idea of supporting local agriculture, though.
