I just did. We put in a pre-order to get a share of fruits and veggies from a local/organic farmer and I am going to pick them up on wednesday. It's supposed to be a big box of produce and a box of fruit. We paid 31 dollars for it. I figure it comes out cheaper that way and it's better for us. I don't have the farm yet so this is what I have to do and I'm supporting the farmers, so it's all good!
I'm excited, I have no idea what's in the boxes but it's all in season.

Hey, girls, this is how I came acorss my co-op!

http://www.localharvest.org/

Sorry I didn't include it to begin with! The "share" from the co-op I chose came straight from a local farm that is organic. I am really excited honestly. I can't even stomach the thought of getting anything in a grocery store anymore. I am really happy to be supporting our organic farmers. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?
In this particular co-op, you can get the "share" from the particular farm "Gundermann Farm" or you can get a mix of various local growers and an organic distributor. I opted for the Farm!

Hope that link helps you all!

That is what we'll be offering our local customers as well. Called CSA "community supported agriculture". On behalf of all farmers, thank you. The food you get with a co op is fresher, and healthier since it has a lot less farther to travel. Many Co-ops are organic growers as well. YEAH!

I've always wanted to do that! Let us know how you make out - maybe I'll be inspired to try to find one around here!
