2. I have been participating in my local CSA

for over a year now and it is the bulk of groceries. My CSA farmer will often trade produce with other local farmers to offer more variety to his customers and he also sells other local items such as honey and eggs. I'm very happy that my little bit of money goes directly to the farmer.

Personally, it has literally been my health insurance. I'm eating very fresh, healthy organic produce and it has even helped me to lose stubborn weight. It's been a blessing in my life.

Here's a link to help find a CSA in your area:
