It’s Summer – Eat Green
1 Jul 2009, 9:55 am

July 1, 2009

Summer’s the easiest time of the year to eat locally. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are starting to ripen, whether in your garden or piling up on stands at the farmer’s market. If you don’t have a patch of dirt to call your own, how about finding a community garden through the American Community Gardening Association? It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and spend less to feed your family great food. If you’d just as soon have the tomatoes and peaches show on your doorstep, consider supporting “community supported agriculture” by joining a CSA. Members who subscribe to CSA farms receive a box of fresh seasonal fruits and veggies each week. To locate a farm or market near you, enter your zip code in the Get Local Info box on The Daily Green's homepage.
