CSA: an adventure with local food in Atlanta, Georgia
We are getting delicious, healthy food through our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in Atlanta and (bonus!) supporting our local farmers.
Each week last Fall, I posted pictures and details about what we received from the Small Farms CSA (run by the Love is Love farm) in our regular 13-week session ($350 produce + $100 meat).
You can read the reports on our Fall harvests below, as well as learning more about the upcoming 17-week Spring 2011 session ($435 produce + $100 meat).
