I love CSAs. First, they are a great way for people to buy fresh, local food; and second, they are a vehicle that allows a community to support its local producers. Still, I find myself wanting to turn the CSA concept on its head. The flipped concept is, use agriculture to support the community.
The House of Hope Community Garden takes advantage of resources we have - a lot of space and hands - to grow produce that supports our community. Yes, we need more CSAs and a lot more ASCs.
Postscript: Anyone can donate produce to the food shelf.
