Why Buy a CSA?<br />
Taste!<br />
You’re getting the freshest<br />
produce—most likely picked<br />
that same day.<br />
Know your farmer.<br />
You’re on a first name basis<br />
with the person who grew<br />
your food! Ask questions<br />
about what they’re growing<br />
and how they’re growing<br />
it. See how your support<br />
matters.<br />
Shorten your food supply<br />
chain.<br />
The food in your CSA box is<br />
traveling a much more direct<br />
route to your table than<br />
food you buy at a traditional<br />
grocery store.<br />
Eat healthier meals.<br />
A CSA encourages you to<br />
cook for yourself and your<br />
family and infuse your<br />
diet with a wide variety of<br />
vegetables and fruits.<br />
Try new things.<br />
Let farmers introduce you<br />
to new recipes or reconnect<br />
with old favorites.<br />
Eat with the seasons.<br />
Anticipate the first sweet<br />
strawberries of spring or<br />
summer’s juiciest tomatoes.<br />
Support what you value.<br />
Your commitment keeps<br />
farmers farming and<br />
strengthens our capacity<br />
to build a sustainable food<br />
system.<br />
