A recent article at Local Harvest discusses approaches to connecting poor families to CSA’s and the good, local food they provide.
One method is to look to non-profit organizations to sponsor shares in CSA’s. Another method is being pioneered by Uprising Farm, where members pay with a swipe of their EBT food stamp cards. Great ideas! We growers for the Work in Beauty CSA have a vision for providing good local food on an ever enlarging scale in the coming years to include members from all parts of our community. The discussion of how to adopt these practices for including poor families in the CSA has begun.
