Localharvest.org.
I may be late but I am a budding Vegetarian, and right now I am doing some juicing and eating raw for a while...it is going great! Anyway, I do a lot of YouTube for anything/infor I seek for a lot of things. Well, one of My Subscriptions was talking about getting TOP Quality Produce (most organic), (as well as free range or grass fed animals) at a great price, She mentioned checking out localharvest.org which are CSA's, and that most have half shares for like $240 for 10 weeks. Well, I checked it out and put in My location...and WOW, there are about 150 farms in My area alone. I forgot I was back in the South! Anyway, I did several reviews of farms and decided on one and it is $240 (half share) for 20 WEEKS! Imagine, 10 or 20 weeks of IN SEASON Fruit and Veggies for $240!!! OMG, I spend $40 a week on veggies and fruit alone that are NOT organic!
So, just putting this out there for those who like to save a buck, and in the process support your local SMALL Farmers, and support sustainable/organic produce, as well as humane care and harvesting of animals.

I'm going to check it out. It might force me to try some new produce that isn't currently part of my diet. Thanks for the tip.0

the CSA in my neighborhood is more than double that and doesn't include fruit, which is an additional 150$. i wish i had some local friends to split it with.0

I only knew of one CSA in my town, but according to this site there's about 40!! I'm astonished! And a handful of them are literally in my backyard. Amazing. Now to pick one... 0
