Is that a CSA or some other model?I love having the exposure and impetus to eat all that produce every week. It's a challenge to eat it all!
Yep. When I said coop, I meant csa. Originally I wanted todo that but they are so spendy and most had waiting lists. This is much easier. Fromthefarmer.com. I don’t know if it is just a dc thing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My CSA isn't much more difficult, we go to the farm once a week and pick out our vegetables (sometimes fruits) at the farmstand. There's usually additional produce available if we want to pick it, but it's primarily grab and go. Does FTF deliver?
Yes. Every wed I wake to a large bag of goodies on my porch!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, my friend gets a farm share box she picks up locally at a house near her and it is produce from farms in PA and NJ, so probably a little more diverse than mine, but I like that I know the farm I am getting my food from and I know the farmers and everyone there. It is at the "intentional community" many people I know live at http://www.camphillkimberton.org/
Sounds great, you guys. But with my work schedule, I am thrilled not to have to go to a farm.
It just took me 45 minutes to pick up my Biltmore Wine Club package because the Biltmore is crowded 24/7 these days and some of their roads are being worked on. Pick up is quarterly; I'd be suuuuper frustrated if I had to do that pickup route any more frequently. (Though the wine club allows us a free glass of wine whenever we visit, I didn't take them up on it at 11 am.)
We have an amazing neighborhood farmers market. But, we never go. I'm super thankful for our awesome local grocery store that supports local farmers-- even to the point of local flour and local dried beans and what not.
