Community Supported Agriculture

Only 1 out of 10 children eat the recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Survey reveal that becoming a member of a CSA (community supported agriculture) families significantly increased their intake of fruits and vegetables.  -- This from www.gtfma.com  -- which strangely could not be pasted in here. Anyway, this is how some CSAs work : pay monthly dues and get weekly boxes of whatever is in season. Also some growers at the farmers' market might make such a deal with you: subscribe, and get a weekly box. It will help your child in a major way! Let's see, healthier brains, bones, bodies, and ideas about the world. Also will help the local ecnomoy, the environment, the family farm, emergency preparedness, and bio-diversity. Sounds good to me.
