CSAs are hot right now, really hot.  CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is an investment in a farm for a season and in return you receive a fresh, weekly box of produce (some offer meats and dairy) during the growing season.
Prices range depending on the length and type of a program. It is [...]]]></description>

I recently took a trip to the Harvest New England Agricultural Marketing Conference &#38; Trade Show in Sturbridge, Mass, where I took part in a panel discussion on institutional purchasing from local growers.
There were panel discussions on topics as wide ranging as how to use the Internet for marketing and increase sales, the emergence CSA [...]]]></description>

Having connected with several purveyors at The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, I knew I needed to see some of the places where all the wonderful food was coming from.
