Let’s be honest, we love the subscription revolution. Netflix, Birchbox, Zipcar… you name it, we’ll join it. So, perhaps it’s time to consider adding another weekly subscription plan to your arsenal: A share of produce from your local farm.

While strolling through the local farmer’s market is a Sunday ritual I can’t kick, this summer I decided I was ready to take the plunge and commit to a weekly box of goodies by joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). When you become a member of a CSA, you’re purchasing a “share” of vegetables from a regional farmer. Weekly or bi-weekly, your farmer will deliver your share of produce to a drop-off location in your neighborhood, making it easier to support local producers if you’re not able to make it to the greenmarket.

While joining a CSA is a commitment (note that’s coming from a biased veggie-lover like myself), you can’t beat getting a box full of seasonal veggies, fruits, and artisanal products.

As I begin my pick-ups, I’ll keep you apprised of my weekly haul here on Greenly. Want to know how I used those two pounds of carrots I received last week? Or pick up some tips for storing these hauntingly gorgeous strawberries? Then stay tuned…
