bounty of the season
Join a community supported agriculture (CSA) program in your area and enjoy fresh-from-the-farm vegetables and fruits all season long.
Now is the time to sign up. The nifty LocalHarvest website provides an abundance of options in your area. Just enter your zip code to find out which farmers want to put food on your family's table. The cost to participate generally ranges from $300 to $400 for the season.
Most CSAs offer a robust selection of fruits and vegetables. Many participants find they enjoy expanding their cooking skills by experimenting with recipes for unique foods such as fava beans, mustard greens, and bok choy.
To help you in your culinary adventures, consider investing in a helpful cookbook. Two to check out are Simply In Season, expanded edition by Cathleen Hockman-Wert and Mary Beth Lind, and The Farm To Table Cookbook: The Art of Eating Locally by Ivy Manning.
Join a CSA this spring and enjoy a season of local and healthful food. Not only is CSA membership a wonderful way to eat healthy, it is an easy way to help protect Idaho’s quality of life. Your choice supports local families, improves air quality, and reduces pollution.
Enjoy the season!
