picture of tomatillosNow is the time of year to join a community supported agriculture (CSA) farm to support local farmers while receiving delicious, nutritious, fresh produce all summer long. CSA members pay an up-front subscription fee to farmers in return for a share of the season’s harvest, which is usually provided weekly. It may seem early, but CSA memberships typically fill up quickly, so if you're interested make sure you sign-up today!

There are approximately 150 farms and businesses throughout the state that sell local meats. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's food pyramid offers selection tips and nutritional information about meat and poultry through its website www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/meat.html. The site notes that lean cuts of meat and poultry are healthy aspects of our diet, especially when it comes to providing necessary proteins. Pictured right is Ned Sayre of Deer Creek Beef, Harford County.
