(Listing updated 5/20/20)
While modern advances such as Instacart and AmazonFresh have made it easier than ever to think less about where your food comes from, people can connect with their food when they buy it directly from the farmer. There is nothing quite like it.
Community-Supported Agriculture, or CSA, programs are one way to connect with your farmer without picking through the farmers’ market each week. CSAs can take the form of a weekly delivery or pickup that you pay for up front at the beginning of the season, while other programs allow you to choose your frequency and pay as you go.
CSAs are a great way to connect with your local farmers, many of whom include recipe suggestions or farm updates with each delivery. So get connected with the Reno-Tahoe region through a CSA this year.
