Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I've been looking at organic seeds and as usual, thinking I can't possibly grow all of the things I want to eat, here in suburbia. Does anyone know of a CSA in the East Metro area? Does anyone have any experience with a CSA that they would be willing to share?

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hi Kathy, There is a good annual CSA guide put out by the Land Stewardship Project. The 2004 edition isn't up yet, but the 2003 edition is still up and should be able to get you on the right track. It is here: http://www.landstewardshipproject.org/csa.html Also, if their standards meet your approval, Whole Farm Co-op has a CSA-type service during the growing season. It's in the price list at their website (http://www.wholefarmcoop.com). However, and Dave of Sweetland Farm pointed out that their standards are neither particularly stringent nor consistent. I would read their standards on the website *carefully*, shop around, and then go from there. I can't vouch for any CSAs because I have not yet used any. I keep meaning to do that, but then life happens and it winds up being midsummer before I get back to it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
