New CSA

Walker Claridge, who owns The Root Cellar and mixes a mean mojito at Sycamore, has launched a new, pseudo-CSA (for the uninitiated, CSA stands for "community supported agriculture" and is essentially a food subscription service). He's got brochures at the Cellar, but basically he's going to partner with a number of different local farms to deliver about 50 kinds of seasonal produce throughout the year. What you get when depends on the weather, but it looks like starting now you'd have access to about 20 veggies for $35 a week. Milk and eggs add $10, meat about $20 more. Delivery's just $10 a week.

I'll probably pass on this as we've got a garden of our own and enjoy going to the farmer's market. But for those who want all the fresh, local produce Boone County has to offer delivered right to your doorstep, this may be the way to go.

He's also throwing in three farm gatherings at the Terra Bella Farm in Hatton and the possibility of others at participating farms around the area.
