I think I've found the CSA I'll be supporting this year: Grant Family Farms.
The farms are located in Wellington, CO - just north of Fort Collins - and they have pickup locations 1x/week near our house in Denver from June-December. The reason we went with a family farm CSA as opposed to one where people grow things in their backyard in the city is because we want to support those who are trying to make a living doing a great thing like this.
Here is a breakdown of how much it will cost us to support locally grown, certified organic food (for 26 weeks) trying to be "beyond organic" sustainable:
Veggies (single share): $18/week
Eggs (1 dozen/week): $4.50/week
Fruit (single share): $16.36/week
Mushrooms (1/2 lb. share): $7/week
They also raise meat: goose, chicken, duck, turkey, pork, lamb, and goat.
Very Paleo Diet friendly!!
FYI - I found this farm on www.localharvest.org. Check it out for farms in your area!
Looking forward to this new food adventure in 2010...
