“In keeping with the rage for all things local and sustainable, an increasingly popular way to foster small, regional family farms is community-supported agriculture, or CSAs, through which you can buy a share that gets you weekly or biweekly deliveries of seasonal fruits and vegetables; there are also CSAs specializing in meat and poultry, and some offer farm eggs. Orders typically range from half to three-quarters of a bushel. Most CSAs use neighborhood drop-off spots such as farmers’ markets, but some provide home delivery for an additional fee.”
