Every summer our office is the drop off location for a CSA, a Community Supported Agriculture program. Participants, about a dozen of us here, pay the local farmer(s) ahead of time and come June or so we get a box of glowingly beautiful produce every week. Sustainability is a guiding principle in our firm and this is one way we can support both area farmers and our own heath. Plus it really brightens a person’s day to see those colors, almost as good as sunlight. If you want to learn more about CSA’s the USDA has a good page of links and finding tools, like Bioodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, LocalHarvest, and many more. The family farm that brings us our wonderful produce here in St. Louis is Lee Farms. What do you think – would this work at your office?
