Support your local CSA

Tom has signed us up for two CSAs this spring and summer, one for vegetables at Stone Soup Farm in Belchertown, MA and a second for meat at Chestnut Farms in Hardwick, MA.

What is a CSA, you ask? Community Sustained Agriculture. Basically we have bought shares in the farm and get regular (weekly for the veggies, monthly for the meat) local deliveries of a somewhat random assortment of food. Our veggie CSA started today, and Tom came home with kale, summer squash, garlic scapes, a mixed bag of arugula, scallions and a small basil plant. Awesome selection and quality!
