Buying from your own back yard

So its pretty common to hear of your local farmer's markets selling fruits and vegetables, but maybe not so common to get locally grown meat? Thats the subject of this recent cnn.com article on the emergence of CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture) of beginning to also offer locally "grown" meat from their farms.

As they say "Buying from a local CSA or just shopping at a local farm, you can see where it's coming from. You can talk to the farmers and figure out how the animals or the produce is raised."

We spend so much of our life eating, it would be nice to know for sure exactly where your food is coming from!

Take a look and see if you can find a CSA near you and we can maybe test it out for ourselves.
