CSA box filled with clementines, oranges, kiwis, apples, and pears.

On Tuesday the 11th, I visited with Rebecca Klein of Lafayette who is creating a wonderful new vision for CSAs and for connecting schools and churches with local farmers for their food needs. Her CSA site is located at Temple Isaiah in Lafayette.

Week of December 20th

CSA box filled with pears, apples, feijoa, oranges, apples, and a jar of conserve.
