Cityseed Farmers' Markets go Indoors.

If you've ever shopped at the grocery store, then you know about buying vegetables. But what if you saved a step and bought directly from the farm? The result? It's called a CSA, and many people are aware of their existence. Community Supported Agriculture has been around since the mid-1980's and it's a way for farmers to get their locally grown produce into the hands of hungry buyers.

Some CSA's will deliver; others require pickup directly at the farm. There are 13 listed farms on CT NOFA's website. Often the produce is picked only a matter of hours before it's distributed. Another way of obtaining fresh veggies is to meet at your local farmers' market and pick up from the farmer there.
Unlike a supermarket, the farm picks out the produce that is distributed, based on what's available. This makes cooking even more interesting and fun, because it requires one to take a look at the available ingredients and come up with recipes from there.
