This is great news. Please keep us informed. The website is up now and is https://homefarmcsa.com/Homefarm_CSA/About_Us.html
Also, the CSA is very attractively priced (at least compared to my historical monthly bill during the winter at the grocer’s): a small share is just over $100 a month and a large share is just under $200. It looks like I can save money, get healthier food, support local small businesses, help the environment–and I still get the convenience of one-stop shopping. If this looks like an advertisement, it’s just that I am excited; I have hoped something like this would come along for a long time because I’m always a bit depressed when the farmer’s market ends, my garden dies, and I have to go back to the grocer’s!
