What a beautiful box of vegetables delivered by Freedom Food Farm to their Somerville Winter CSA members earlier this week! Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great way for you to help support your favorite farm by paying upfront to help cover operating costs at the beginning of the growing season. In return, members receive a weekly share of the farm's harvest throughout the season. Talk to your favorite farm on Saturday about their CSA options!
CSA boxes headed up to Somerville members today! Vegetable shares this week include: gemstone greens mix, celeriac, beets, mixed herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary), ...sweet potatoes, leeks and red cabbage. Not bad for January... #communitysupportedagriculture #balance #winteringredients #yearroundcsa #vibrantfood #packshed #holisticallygrown #farmtocity photo and packing credit: @7dough7
