With all of the horrible stuff happening in the world, I wanted to share something positive. This is our first year with a CSA, and I could not be happier. When we first signed up, they required us to come visit their farm. Our farmers are just a couple and their kids. They grow the majority of their own food, and also feed the local community. The food we get is the tastiest, freshest produce we could ever find (other than growing stuff ourselves). I saw someone posted a fruit cup the other day, and it said something along the lines of being produced on one side of the planet, then shipped half way across the globe to be packaged, then back to be sold in US. Then I thought about our farmers. Our food travels 30 minutes to the farmers' market. That's it. How many emissions would that save if everyone did that? In case any of you are interested, and are in US, you can find your local CSA here: https://www.localharvest.org/csa/
