After buying organic (and local as often as we could) for many years my partner and I finally joined a CSA last year. We had been curious about CSA's and after seeing the movie "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" we felt compelled. It was a great experience. The produce was wonderful and the eggs were the freshest we have ever had. Delicious! For us CSA's are a good choice for several reasons: 1) Our health - by choosing not to consume pesticide grown produce 2) The local economy - by supporting farmers who are farming organically (and will hopefully also influence what local supermarkets buy and sell.) 3) It matches with our values of not wanting to support corporate giants including corporate farms who are depleting soils with detrimental farm practices and 4) Our food enjoyment: we love to cook and want to use the freshest organic ingredients - unless you grow your own (which we also do) it can't get any fresher than local!
