Community Supported Agriculture is vitally important to our
health, our environment and our economy.
By choosing to purchase produce from a
local farm you not only get a fresher product, but you support a local business
/ farmer and our local economy. The average food product travels 2400 kms to
our plates in Canada, being picked well before it is ripe. You can imagine how
much better produce tastes that is picked the day you eat it, or at most a few
days before consumption.
Here is how it works-
First, find a farm that is close to
you and grows the type of produce you and your family are interested in
consuming. For a list in Ontario follow this link: http://csafarms.ca/CSA%20farmers.htm
Most Farmers offer a few choices of baskets, those for single people or couples
without children, and another for families. You choose your size and pay for
your share and enjoy local, delicious produce all summer long.
