This is the farmers first year in the program althoough they have done the local farmers markets for many years. We plan to donate part of our weekly share to the local food shelf. MN has a growing number of CSA the land stewart ship project is anther source. We will also be starting to grow our own straberries in our yard and hope to add more etibles in the next few years.
