    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.

      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.
