Community Supported Agriculture


Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a nation-wide program that supports small local farms, and there's a program right here in my hometown of Westport, CT. Every week my family gets a basket of the fresh produce of the week from Stone Gardens Farm in Shelton, CT. 

Every week the products change. And you know it's fresh because it still has the dirt on it. 

One recent basket included peas, cauliflower, strawberries, collards, beets, escarole, garlic scapes, turnips, radishes, a loaf of fresh bread, and fresh herbs like thyme, parsley and oregano. And you can even buy chickens from the farm.

Next year (the program runs from June-October), please sign up for this great program. You get all the great produce you need, while supporting a local farm. It's healthy, fresh and delicious. What more could you ask for...and they even give you recipes to use your produce in.
