Buy a share in a CSA. As part of a community-supported agriculture program, you help pay part of a local farm’s operating expenses and in return receive produce for the “duration of the growing season, which usually lasts 24 to 26 weeks.” Find one near you at Localharvest.org.
Team up with a co-op. Food co-operatives provide many organic, locally grown products at discounted prices. Though some require you to volunteer, most only ask for “modest dues.” To find one in your area, go to Coopdirectory.org.
