Marissa Shoemaker 10/10/2017 11:17 AMAfter moving 20 miles away and losing my ability to commute by bike, I joined a CSA and have made it my goal to only prepare foods with the meats and produce that I receive from my local CSA. I am looking forward to adding to my life less waste and less plastic.
