Hey Charles Villagers - As you may know, now is the time to sign up for a CSA share for this season. (Community Supported Agriculture is an opportunity for consumers to share the risks and joys of the growing season with their farmer. You pay up front to help the farmer's cashflow and show your support and you are rewarded all season long with a steady stream of fresh produce.)
