CSAs
My favorite local farm just joined the CSA bandwagon. CSA stands for community sustainable agriculture. Normally for a cost or minimum amount of labor, or a combination of both, you get a share of the harvest from a farm. Ours is doing it to help out middle to low income families and is mostly labor based (although a couple wealthy families have signed up and paid). In return they will get a box of food a week from whatever is in season. I really think its great more farms are implementing such programs, even if not aimed toward income sensitive families.
