Thinking positive thoughts for the planet—a happy choice is a local choice, and that’s the direction I’m going in. Hope you’ll come along!

Community Supported Agriculture

Community Supported Agriculture

Fill your fridge with fresh, locally grown product by pairing up with a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group that brings a farm’s weekly harvest (practically) to your doorstep. The beauty of joining a CSA is that you’re buying, directly from the farmer, produce that’s fresher and tastier because it’s been small-batch grown and delivered within hours of being picked. All, well within a hundred miles of Charleston—eliminating cross country shipping and the middleman, as well.

For a couple of key reasons, I chose The Twenty Bag from Harleston Towles’ Edisto operation, Rooting Down Farm. The original CSA model offers a season’s worth of farm output to consumers who buy shares in advance. This system provides the farmer with resources to get things growing, and I support it completely.

The Twenty Bag is a hybrid of the original system. It works well for those who are seeking more flexibility when they become a CSA member, providing a weekly, pay-as-you-go offering from the farm you can order, or skip.
