    My family uses CSAs. While the initial upfront costs can be jolting, the price per week ends up being less than $20. For my wife, who loves to cook, the CSA box ends up being like a huge present every week. She *so* looks forward to seeing what's in there. It's all organic and fresh and a great way to support local families.

      When I was living in NYC we used to get a small box every week from a CSA called "Urban" Organic." They delivered in Manhatten and Brooklyn, door to door! It was a great service.

      We have lots of local produce around here. Several places allow you can go in the field or orchard and pick your own. And this year I'll take a crack at growing something in a small backyard garden. Not much, but as far as hobbies go this should be healthy and rewarding.

          Sorry, it wasn't me! This is Alexia's story. I'm just a person trying to decide between veggies and fruit in my small garden. Maybe both, depending on how ambitious I get. :)

            I'm planning on planting a garden this year too. Don't have a clue as to how to start, but am looking forward to asking the locals about soil and the success of certain veggies.
