It’s that CSA time of year

by Hawes Spencer

An NB29 report yesterday on Valley foodies getting into CSAs reminds us that subscription time is fast approaching for this-side-of-the-mountain CSAs. What’s a CSA, you say?

Well, it’s like the Book of the Month club, only it’s the basket of vegetables a week club. Type “CSA” and “food” into the Hook website, and you’ll see we’ve written a bunch of articles about these bastions of the “slow food” and “eat local” movements. We’ve written about these three— Best of What’s Around, Ploughshare, and Horse and Buggy. But you might also want to check out this more extensive list compiled by the Piedmont Environmental Council.
