I love the idea of buying local. Especially buying food local. For the past several years, however, I haven't lived places where this has been a very easy task. When we first started getting settled in our new home I was excited at the amount of local farms and farm stands I saw. Out here itseems that buying local is more of a way of life for everyone and less of a "movement". Don't get me wrong there are still plenty of large grocery stores and plenty of people (including me) still shop at them, however, buying local is also really easy. I have always wanted to get involved with a CSA farm share and I started researching some in the area this evening. I am SO excited with what I found! Not only can we get fresh local veggies but also free range chickens, local beef & pork, eggs, dairy and grains. The amount of local farms which offer CSA's far exceeded my expectations. Now the hard part is going to be choosing one.
