CSA

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. We have recently joined a CSA in the Houston area and we LOVE it. Here what they offer:

-Locally grown, organic produce that was picked within the last week

-Drop site locations all around the Houston area

-Pay half up front for a season and remaining balance half way through. It comes out to $29/week.

-You can add other products to your order week by week to pick up along with your produce. They have other farms in the area you can purchase from, all on the same website, week by week. For instance, you can add a whole chicken, eggs, cheese, yogurt, honey, fresh herbs, etc. to your order and it is ready to pick up at the same location and time you pick up your veggies. 

I think the whole thing is awesome. Sooooo many benefits…eating healthy, no lines at the grocery store, and it’s supporting local farmers. If anyone is interested, here’s the website: www.homesweetfarm.com. Here’s what our first share looked like for this week (cost for all of this was right around $70): 

 2 Tomatoes, 4 Squash, 3 Sweet Potatoes, 4 Bell Peppers, a Bunch of Arugula, A bunch of Broccoli Greens, 12 oz. of Green Beans, A Whole Chicken, A Pint of Yogurt, 8 oz of Cheese, a Dozen Eggs, and a Large Jar of Honey.
