CSA Program


Did you know that many communities now offer a local agriculture share program? This program provides it's local community with pesticide free produce. It is also a great way to support local farmers and help to reduce emissions at the same time. It takes time and machinery to harvest and haul produce to the local supermarket. Help support your community and make an impact on your world by participating in your farmers market or CSA program. Basically you buy a share of produce from a local farmer or community garden in exchange for healthy, pesticide free food. If you can start your own garden at home you will save any more by giving your abundance to neighbors and friends.
Check your local community section of the newspaper for more information. If your town does not offer a farmers share program consider researching and heading up a share organization. Not only will you benefit but your community will become a greener place.
