Previously, we wrote a post on how to find your local farmer’s market or CSA (community-supported agriculture) using Local Harvest. CSA’s allow you to sign up for a farm share — a subscription to receive a basket of the farm’s current produce yield. With many CSA’s, there are usually designated sites where the you, the subscriber, can pick up your share. CSA’s allow often small and individually-owned farms to establish a relationship with members of the community.

Now there are services like Spud! (California), Greenling (Texas), Natural Direct (Illinois), Organics To You (Oregon) and My Personal Farmers.com (New York), who will deliver your share right to your home. A notable difference, too, is that the above-named service-providers seem to be distributors rather than individual farms — they buy from local, organic farms — and redistribute the bounty into the subscriber’s share box. But, this isn’t necessarily a negative: subscribers seem to have more flexibility in what they order and, in some cases, with what frequency.

So, here is another option for discovering and sharing in the freshest produce currently in season! Comments, suggestions and ideas for working through share contents are very, very welcome!!
