CSAs/Farmers Markets

You wouldn't know it by looking out the window this morning, but spring has sprung! Time to start thinking about the growing season ahead. For the past two summers, we've been members of a community supported agriculture coop. Although it was a great experience, we're planning on shopping at the Mill City Farmers Market instead this year. We just had a hard time keeping up with a large weekly supply of perishable goods!

The Mill City Farmers Market focuses on local and sustainably raised foods, and the farm we supported for the past two years sells its vegetables there. In addition vegetables and fruits, you can find sustainably raised eggs, meats, honey, maple syrup, cheese and lots of homemade products and crafts.
