CSA Subscriptions Still Available at Andy's Greens!
We are still accepting subscriptions to participate in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). You can take a role in your food choices by committing a portion of your money to locally grown produce. Supporting CSA means more small local farms. Read more if you're interested in becoming a CSA subscriber. Our 18 week subscription began on June 16, 2008. Discounted in-season shares are still available.
Our 2008 season organic salad greens are currently available.
Your requests for our fresh, locally grown, certified organic greens are appreciated. Send an email for more information.
We have organic lettuce: red and green varieties of butterhead lettuce, batavian lettuce, leaf lettuce, oakleaf lettuce, and romaine lettuce. We have other organic greens by the bunch or pound: arugula, cilantro, kale, swiss chard, sorrel, mizuna, mustard greens, spinach, and beet greens. We provide fresh culinary herbs including: parsley, lovage, oregano, summer savory, and thyme. Greens are $2/head or bunch, herbs are $2/bunch.
I recently read "Organic, Inc." by Samuel Fromartz which is an excellent book for farmers or others interested in the business of organic food in the United States, from farming to distribution to marketing. Did you know that Alice Waters considers the introduction of baby lettuce spring mix to be her greatest contribution to American cuisine? The book covers topics such as organic strawberry production, the role of farmers' markets, the development of organic salad mix, breakfast cereals, and what organic means and why we buy it. This book has a stronger focus on farming than "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan which is also a good book.
