Not sure you have time to grow a garden this year—or you’re sure that you don’t? Share someone else’s with a CSA! More than 30 Community Supported Agriculture programs are sprinkled across the valley, with new ones sprouting up every year. A subscription gives you your own share of vegetables, fruits, and other crops and products from local farms.

We know it’s still winter, but seeds are growing and it’s time to get going because spots are filling up earlier than ever. Pro tip: many CSAs also offer discounts for early sign up!
