Farm Fresh Rhode Island blogSign up for a 2008 CSA!
Sign ups for the 2008 growing season have begun for Community Support Agriculture (CSA) subscriptions to the bounty of Rhode Island farms. Here’s how most work: in the spring, you pre-pay a farm when the farmers most need money for seeds and getting the land ready. Then June through October, you’ll pick up a box of fresh veggies and fruit each week. There are drop-off points all over RI.
This year, Farm Fresh is also introducing Market CSAs at the Armory Farmers’ Market on Thursday evenings and at the Downtown Providence Farmers’ Market on Friday afternoons. Think of it as a subscription to the market. The whole amount supports each market’s farmers and producers, which has the benefit of boosting the market itself. Only 20 spots available are at each market this year. So act fast!
Farm Fresh recently updated our listings of 2008 CSAs in RI and you can find a print version in the spring edition of Edible Rhody.
