Join a CSA or visit a farmstand to support local agriculture. Your participation helps sustain agricultural jobs, protect family farm businesses, ensure access to fresh local food, create educational opportunities for younger generations, and reduce pressure for overdevelopment. With 20 of our 47 conservation easements active in agricultural use, there are many opportunities to support local.
By choosing local farms, you also bring fresh, seasonal produce into your home and strengthen the farming community that helps define our region.
Join a CSA today or stop by a farmstand.
