Easy Peasy Tip: It’s CSA Sign-up Time!
By tinychoices | February 28, 2009
Don’t forget – this is the time of year to find and sign-up for a CSA (community supported agriculture group)! For more information check out our post about it last year. Also, another post from when Karina was prepping like mad to welcome tons of fresh vegetables into her home. These days CSAs fill up fast, and also many will have an early bird discount for a deposit placed some time around now.
If you don’t have a local CSA yet, here are some of the more popular databases to find a CSA near you – try all of them, these listings aren’t inclusive:
- The Robyn Van En Center
- Green People
- Local Harvest
- National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service
- Eat Well Guide
Do you have a CSA lined up for the next year?

I’ve been wanting to join a CSA since my sophomore year of college when my anthropology class made a field trip to a small (CSA) farm and worked the farm for a few hours. Now that I’m semi-grown-up and have need for one in my life, and have joined one, I’m just counting down the days until April when it all begins!
Yay for CSAs!
I’m all signed up too! Our summer veggie/fruit CSA runs late June-October. Winter share Nov-Jan, and we’ve got a year-round meat share as well! But currently, Feb-June is feeling pretty long without the amazing variety of local eats!
