With warm weather approaching now is the time to sign up for a CSA share.                

Community Supported Agriculture is an, alternative, locally-based way to purchase fresh food. CSA members join and pay the farm at the beginning of the season and receive a weekly share of fresh produce throughout the harvest months.  Becoming a member of a CSA is a great way to eat clean, fresh, local food on a budget and to support local agriculture at the same time.

Take a look at these Hudson Valley Bounty members offering CSA shares in your area: Binnewater Farm Project, Slow Roots Farm, Tweefontein Herb Farm, Rusty Plough Farm, Brykill Farm.
