Enviromental Stewardship
Consider subscribing to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. This is a program in which subscribers pledge their support to the farmer(s) by paying in advance for a season’s worth of produce. This provides economic stability for our local farmers, provides a good source of vegetables for one’s family, and supports local produce which has not been transported for thousands of miles to reach us. A couple of CSAs which are currently taking subscriptions and include Norfolk pick-ups are Cullipher Farm Market (www.cullipherfarm.com or 721-7456 and the Five Points Community Farm Market (www.5PtsFarmMarket.org or 640-0300). Other CSAs are listed in the publication “Buy Fresh Buy Local” which is in the Parish Hall. If you don’t think you can eat all of the produce offered in a weekly basket, consider partnering with a friend for your subscription.
