CSA Haul
(beehaw.org)
All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.
See also our Environment community, which is focused on weather, climate, climate change, and stuff like that.

Great that you were able to find a CSA that is a fit for your family.
We really wanted to do this several years ago, but found that most of the local ones balanced out their production with either canning or smoking themselves or dry goods. Unfortunately we have some food intolerances in our family and none of the CSAs could accommodate.
Instead we found a local delivery service with a focus on getting food from local and regional small farmers and producers as much as possible. They do their best to provide a clean label products and it’s been working for us since before the pandemic.
Good to hear you were able to find a way to get good local produce! Using a CSA isn't quite as nice as growing my own, but I no longer have half an acre to devote to home gardening (or, probably, the back muscle strength to manage it myself). It really does seem like small scale production and actual freshness does make everything taste better. I pity people who have only had supermarket carrots.
