Middlebury Gets It's Own C.S.A. Just In Time For New Years' Resolutions!

What IS a C.S.A. you ask?

Community Supported Agriculture is a way to purchase the highest quality, freshest organic vegetables directly from a local grower. Much like a magazine subscription, members buy a share of the harvest at the beginning of the growing season and then pick up their freshly harvested seasonal vegetables once a week.

After apprenticing on an organic vegetable farm for six months in 2014, I felt that it was high time my home town of Middlebury, CT, was offered the kind of high quality, super fresh, organically grown produce that I was learning to grow.

I am sure that a lot of folks in the community have caught on to the many merits of organically grown produce by now. However, even when produce carries an organic label, do you really know when you buy it at the store where it came from, who grew it, or how much time (meaning how fresh is it really?) and energy (fuel) went in to transporting it to you?
