I am curious as to how many of you regularly visit and purchase produce from a local farmer's market or possibly subscribe to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)?
I found out a few months ago that there was a weekly Farmer's Market about 1/2 mile from where I work and was excited to check it out. They also have a CSA that I ended up subscribing to. This one is unique in that I get produce from a variety of vendors. If there is an ingredient in my box that I don't care for (corn, legumes, etc), I can visit the vendor and swap it out for something more agreeable to me. Sweet deal!
For something that I had no clue about a year ago, I really love these things. I have been introduced to a nice variety of fruits and vegetables that used to be foreign to me.
