Everything is greening up outside -- just make sure there's plenty of green goodness at the dinner table this summer by participating in Goldwood Gardens' community supported agriculture (CSA) program.
Each week for 20 weeks, a large assortment of seasonal fruits and vegetables will be earmarked for you and your family to enjoy.
The cost is $425 for a full share and $275 for a half share -- which equates to $21.25 a week or $13.75 a week -- probably less than you might spend in the produce aisle at the local grocery. Additional benefits are that your food will be locally grown, your investment helps keep dollars in the local economy and since Goldwood Gardens uses organic growing processes, you know your food with be healthy and safe to consume.
An additional benefit is access to a weekly-updated blog with information and recipes to help you get the most out of your weekly produce delivery. Convenient delivery times are set up at locations across Whitley County, and now serving Kosciusko and Allen County residents as well.
Limited shares remain for purchase for the 2011 summer growing season.
