Why You Need Community Supported Agriculture Shares

From: Monica and Mark Downen of Monica’s Waterfront Bakery & Cafe in Silverdale.

Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, brings farm-fresh produce and other grocery items into your home every week. You invest now, and the farm gets to plant in the Spring, and you reap the benefits of the harvest throughout the summer and fall.

Come to our CSA Q&A Saturday, February 7, 2009, 2 pm at the cafe. We will chat with Jared & Sara Hankins of Hand Sown Homegrown about their new Heirloom CSA, what they can do for you and why it is important.
