I joined this CSA a few years ago but had to drop out. It was too far too pick up our weekly box of produce. But I was looking online again this year and discovered that they now offer a closer pick-up location! Yay! Because I am a fan :o)
As a CSA member you join and pay up-front. Then you pick-up a box of produce at a designated location. At the start of the season (it began last week), the box was pretty sparse. We got asparagus, rhubarb, and green onions. Because it was a bit empty, they supplemented with maple syrup. This week was green onions, napa cabbage, and asparagus. They supplemented with puffed corn and spelt. Once the season gets rolling, the boxes are full and you get freshly picked, whatever's-in-season produce! It has provided us with so many opportunities to try new foods.
Cedarmore is Amish, so that makes me want to support them even more. They use hard work and basic farming implements to farm and use organic methods. I figured that for the amount that I pay, it more than pays out for what we get in our produce boxes compared to what I could buy at the store. (12 weeks is $180) Plus it's supporting a local farmer!!! read more
