Community Supported Agriculture provides a great way for people from local communities to invest in and share the benefits and risks associated of small scale organic farming. When you invest in CSA you are partnering with your local farmer. How does it work? Basically, you pay a portion of your local farmers operating costs during the winter months. This entitles you to enjoy a portion of the produce when it is harvested. This interesting video provides a tour of Zestful Gardens, a 30-acre farm situated in the heart of the Puyallup Valley in Tacoma, Washington. They produce some wonderfully fresh organic vegetables, including a number of heirloom varieties. If you’re a local, why not get in touch with them by checking out their website.
