BEST way to support local producers: Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs)
I’ve been doing a summer CSA for a few years now, like so many others in this community, so it’s not news to say that CSAs really do help support local producers. But in this pandemic, with changes to our warm weather markets and the way we all shop for groceries, supporting CSAs might make more of a difference than ever before.
CSAs aren’t just produce — you can sign up to receive meat and flowers and cheese, though right now you might just have to settle for produce and meat. Take a look at our most recent CSA guide for an idea of how and where you can support our local producers, and be on the lookout for registration deadlines in the late winter/early spring.
