Want to take that wonderful Market Tour food home with you all season long?
Think about joining a local CSA.
Membership in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a great way to get to know and use fresh, local, seasonal ingredients in your own kitchen. The Chefs from our Market Tour talk with farmers and make menu decisions based on what is growing in our community.
