After a record-setting winter, a new growing season begins! This is what we dream of in February: the first spring radishes; the return of farmers’ markets stocked with honey, local meats & cheeses and heirloom tomatoes; the meadows filling gradually with blossoms unfurling in the morning sun. 

Farmers are seeing major impacts to their livelihood through ever-rising costs, and each year they maintain farm infrastructure, start seeds, and prepare fields months before proceeds arrive. One simple way to support our indispensable local food system is to purchase seedlings directly from farmers. When you visit farms for their seedling sales, ask about joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share program. Along the way, you might meet new neighbors and find out how to get more involved in your community this season.
