Want just-picked produce without having to do the picking... and planting... and weeding? It's easy. Join a CSA, or community-supported agriculture program, where you buy a share in a local farm and receive a variety of fresh produce once a week (often delivered to your door). A fresh box of backyard goodies supports local farmers, saves energy (since less fuel is used to transport goods to market compared to supermarket foods, which are often trucked in from farther off), and keeps the dirt out from under your fingernails. Locate a CSA near you at LocalHarvest.org.
