Thank you Norwich Meadow Farms, Red Jacket Orchards and
Norwood CSA for my first CSA experience.
It has come to an end as today is our last summer share pick
up. I am so glad I joined this year and was able to get some amazing fresh
produce every week. I never knew what a
CSA was until I asked a friend where she was getting her vegetables from. She always posted pictures of fresh vegetables
that would make your mouth water. She
told me to Google to see if there is a CSA in my neighborhood and the many
benefits of joining. Not only would I be getting fresh organic vegetables and
fruits, but I would be supporting a local farm too.
After some digging, I found Norwood CSA Food Co-op! The
process of joining was so simple and straight forward. I started following Norwich Meadow Farms on
Instagram and was so excited and impressed on how hard they work and the
information they provide about their farming. I couldn’t wait to taste the
fresh fruit from Red Jacket Orchards (Apples are so sweet and crunchy).
The main reason I joined a CSA is getting fresh organic
produce from a local farm. Each week there was a new vegetable I never tried
and probably would have never tried! The CSA gave me a way of trying new
things. It saved me a great amount of time to just pick up my weekly vegetables
rather than going to a supermarket. It
saved me money! Organic produce is expensive, the bounty of vegetables would
have cost so much more at a market. An
added bonus was the special buys; I was being able to purchase eggs and yogurt.
I have an 11-month daughter and it was
awesome knowing her first solids were coming from a local farm!
What a great experience partnering up with your local
community and supporting the local food system. It’s a WIN WIN.
I am looking forward
to next year :)
