WHEN THE GRAY DAYS OF WINTER PASS to a fresh new spring we often fantasize about the bounty of food to harvest from the garden. If you haven’t been gifted with a green thumb but crave the nutrient-dense punch of local produce, then Community Supported Agriculture(CSA) might be right for you. A CSA is an arrangement where local food producers create shares on a (usually) weekly basis throughout the growing season. These shares are a sampling of the produce or products that were harvested that week. At the beginning of the year farmers and producers offer these shares up for purchase and they go fast! Not limited to just fruit and vegetables, some CSAs offer meat, eggs, bread and even flowers in their weekly shares. To find your perfect CSA match and ring in the spring, visit: www.localharvest.org/fort-collins-co/csa.
