We always shopped at the farmers market and visited local farms, especially to buy bulk quantities for preserving. But this year, we have doubled our garden and we want to see how much of our own food we can grow. We will supplement our homegrown food with farmers market and on-farm purchases.

You're right it was a tough choice, but one I do feel good about. Actually this particular CSA farm is not at the local Farmers Market. Unfortunately in my area some of the smaller farms are a bit nervous about branching out and offering CSA shares. I'm hoping to talk a few into it though...:) Lee,

I'm guessing many of the CSA providers in your area are also at the Farmer's Market, so you're probably okay. :-) I'm looking forward ot digging into this whole series of posts.
