Organic of Time

For the past four or five years, we have participated in a community supported agriculture (CSA) group. A CSA is made up of individuals who support small-scale farms by buying shares that help cover the farmers’ anticipated costs of operation and salary, and in return, the shareholders receive a weekly bounty throughout the growing season. Ours is run by a local organic farmer and his family.

We pick up our veggies on alternate Tuesdays (we split our share with another family), and this every-other-weekly ritual is something that Olivia looks forward to very much. Tonight we made it just as the farmer was packing up his truck to return to the farm.
