Eating organic, fresh, locally and loving it!

 Eating local,healthy, fresh and organic has been my family motto for some time now. This is how we have been doing it for the past year or two:

1. Participating in our local, organic CSA Program. This is the second year we have participated in a local CSA ( Community Supported  Agriculture) program. We are receiving fresh,organic, and local fruit every other week in exchange for prepurchased CSA shares.

2. Purchase and grow local organic herbs and vegetables.  I am growing pots of greek oregano, chives,  mint, tomatoes, and peppers. I also have cucumbers, parsley and gourmet lettuce that I started from seeds. I I also scout out farmers' markets for special items like beets, green beans, and non-gmo corn on the cob. Purchasing organic veggie boxes from our local health food store has been a wonderful option for us too.

3. Local farmers.  We are blessed to know several organic farmers. They supply us with organic grass-fed or naturally raised beef, chicken, pork and lamb. We also purchase cage-free eggs, raw milk, and cheese.

How about you? Have you supported your local farmers this summer?
