January is a great time to join a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Many farms throughout the country have CSAs to guarantee revenue for the upcoming growing season. In a CSA, you pay a set price for a share of that seasons fruits and/or vegetables and pick up produce directly from the farmer on a weekly basis. There is a small amount of risk depending on extreme weather conditions, but the risk is usually minimal. I love broadening my vegetable horizons and learning to cook foods that I normally wouldn't buy. Click on the link below to find a CSA in your area and enjoy the fruits of your local farmer's labor.
