Community Supported Agriculture: Your own supply of locally
grown summer vegetables
Last fall EP and The Food Project offered people in two communities
in Winchester and Somerville the chance to be members of a winter
Community Supported Agriculture program. (A winter CSA's vegetables
are mostly root crops and present different challenges from summer
vegetables. Long lasting, they also take a long time to cook, but
great recipes were provided with the food.)
For the 2004 growing season, EP has arranged with The Food Project
to help people take part if they don't want to start out with a
full share of the summer's harvest. EP will create match-ups among
people who want half or quarter shares. Participants can either
get their vegetables in Arlington (this membership includes no "u
pick" items like strawberries, flowers or cherry tomatoes. Or they
can take turns going to the farm in Lincoln where their food is
both "u pick" and harvested, waiting to be bagged. This latter option
includes the opportunity to picnic or do picking with children or
friends. Contact us to join. If faith groups decide they want to
share the food as part of their summer programs, EP will make available
meditations drawing connections among food, faith, and growing our
food sustainably.
