Hello Farm to Table friends:

Happy Thanksgiving!!

The easiest way for me to buy local all year is to subscribe to a local farm CSA – community supported agriculture. My first share was in the summer of 2007 and I split it with my grandmother. It was right after the first Farm to Table Conference and she thought our message was hilarious – buy food from local farms and prepare it at home. What else would you do, right?

Subscribe to a Winter CSA and expect the following:

• More cooking at home!
• Save money on local, real foods
• Get to know the local food landscape
• Get to know your farmer better
• Put more dollars in your farmer’s pocket
• Eat seasonally

A CSA share would make a great gift for that special someone in your life!! Check out this list of Winter CSAs in Western Pennsylvania! Go to their websites to see their offerings – including veggies, meat, dairy, eggs, milk, grains, honey, maple syrup, etc.

• Clarion River Organics
• Kern Farms
• Northwest PA Growers Association
• Old Time Farm
• Penn’s Corner Farm Alliance
