I have looked into CSA’s before, but they were rather expensive in my area. Possibly, they are more reasonable now that food prices at the grocery store have gone up, but my grocery budget just couldn’t absorb that, even if reducing grocery store purchases. I still considered it becuase I like the idea of regular fresh vegetables every other week. The eggs would have been nice too, but none of my local’s offred them.

Your post prompted me to do a little research for options in our area. There seem to be quite a few sources and I'm looking forward to sampling what our region has to offer. Can't wait for your next post! Steve v4.7s last blog post..(Day 520 / -161 lbs.) I'm Completely Naked In This One!

CSA's are great. I'm getting ready to move next month and will be living close to an Amish community that sells lots of wonderful, organic produce and eggs. I'm looking forward to it! Not quite a CSA though.... On my last trip to the grocery I ran across a delimma that I'm sure others have....I found organic apples and non-organic. The non-organic were, however, locally grown, whilst the organic ones were from New Zealand! In that context which are better? I have to admit that I went with the non-organic ones and peeled them because I thought of the fuel and pollution caused by shipping apples from New Zealand..... Ritas last blog post..Happy Music?

It sounds like a CSA is a great way to eat better and pay less while doing so! One of the benefits, besides the health ones, is that the money goes directly to the farmers… no middlemen! I’ll definitely be seeking out CSA’s in the area. If any one knows of any good, year-round CSA’s in Cailfornia (Sacramento, Bay Area, LA) please let me know! Twitter: @cjguest

I believed organic was more expensive and still willingly paid the extra. Then I found the St. Paul Farmer's Market and was very surprised when the prices were so much LESS than the stores. Now I get all my produce, meat and eggs from the same farmers every week. It's great to get to know the farmers growing the food I feed my family. Bonus, the farmers market will be open all winter. Of course they won't have produce but I can still get the eggs and meat. Jeremy - Great article and I can't wait for the next part. Robins last blog post..Know Your Ingredients - What is this food?
