Environmental and health-conscious consumers know that eating local organic foods means supporting sustainable farming, giving your body the best nutrient-dense produce, and contributing to the reduction of the pollution in our planet caused by excessive food travel and packaging.

There is a wonderful program to help you do this. It’s open to everyone who wants to participate, and its called Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA). Basically, for $300-$500 per season ($100 or so per month) you receive a weekly box of their fresh organic produce. In a box you can find a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs – all from the current season. Some farms in the program allow you to buy per week for as low as $15 a box. This is an option to see what amount would work for you. Every farm differs in the produce they grow, what their price is and the kinds of payment options you have, so you may want to call them and ask them for details on the program and the type of produce. Also, remember to thank them for growing certified organic crops that really nourish our bodies! Some of these specialized farms’ goals are to develop a more direct farmer-consumer partnership and to generate twice as much income for your community than you would buying the same food from a super market. If I were in charge of the planet, I would give every family a parcel of land to build their home, and by law, part of that land would have to be used to grow your own produce (that’s what the Incas used to do and they had one of the most prosperous and healthy empires in the world.) THAT would be amazing! Maybe in a parallel reality. As for this reality, let’s start getting involved in the well-being, evolution and elevation of humanity and do what we can to better the quality of life on this planet.
