We've heard from a number of local farmers on our producers listserve who still have a few CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares available for the new season. CSAs are the most direct way to support your local farm and it guarantees that you get the best of the season weekly. Each farm has different options, options, prices and pickup/delivery options.MoCo Farms
