Local Organic, Organic and CSA

[duffless2323.livejournal.com]

Hi All,

I just saw Food Inc and it has made me think a bit more about where my food comes from and how I spend my shopping dollars. I live in Davis (well Teeleish) but can rarely make it to the Farmers Market. I hear there is one in Union on Sat, I will be checking that out. I'm new to all of this and I'm doing my research to get started eating organically etc. Any tips, stores, etc in the local area I should be checking out, I'm not overly eager to give Whole Foods money if there are cheaper more local options. Thanks

I'm not sure how many CSA's still have shares available as most have already started. As a low-impact intro to the concept, I'd suggest Boston Organics, which now offers an all-or-mostly local box, and that's delivered to your door. You might also still be able to jump on board at Enterprise Farm Share or Busa Farms. If you're teele local, there's a farmshare that has a pickup in the parking lot by the powderhouse community school (packard and broadway) but I don't know which one. It's probably the geographically closest pickup to you. Worth inquiring. Sorry no linkdrops. Working against a deadline. Use the google :D
