CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - Eating In Season
"Joining a CSA is like eating from a garden, and when you eat
from a garden, you eat by the seasons."
- Jocelyn Engman, Choice Earth CSA
Share Jocelyn's passion, intelligence and poetic wisdom about CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)and eating in season from the CSA garden in her new article. Last year SV published her article CSA Story: From Chemist To Organic Farmer, which is good background for 'Eating In Season'. Both articles are reprinted with permission from The Iowa Source, Iowa's Enlightening Magazine.
Excerpt From 'Eating In Season'
I didn't pay much attention to the soil or it's smell or the seasons in general before my husband and I came back to Iowa to start our community supported agriculture (CSA) garden. I didn't pay any attention to the land, though farming is what I came from and what I grew up with.
Only now am I starting to get the feel of 'reconnected to the land.' What we put in our mouths nourishes our lives, and the soil is the start of all nourishment. More than that, being awake and aware is the only way we know we're alive; eating is acknowledging life.
