Eat Your Veggies

[gringoddess.livejournal.com]

For anyone who LOVES locally grown organic produce, wants to support the environment and sustainable agriculture, and sniffs the air at the outrageous price of leeks at Bread and Circus, consider buying a share or half-share of the Waltham Community Fields Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). For a little more than $500 (half that for a half share) you get 20-ish weeks of fabulous veggies and fresh flowers, delivered right down the street. First Congregational Church of Somerville (on College Ave outside Davis) will be the pickup site, so you don't even have to trek to the farm to get your goods. Shares are selling right now, and delivery begins in early June.

This is also a good way to meet people--we're going to have monthly potlucks once the crops start coming in. And if you need further incentive, they give away a lot of food to feeding programs and low-income families.

To sign up visit the farm's website at: www.communityfarms.org.

Do good while eating well!

Oooh. Do you know if I need to specify on the form somewhere that I want to pick up in Somerville?

Thanks for the info!

Gosh, I don't know--if it doesn't say on the form itself (it should) just write it in, since you have to snail-mail it out anyhow. Good luck!
