I was thinking it would be nice to add CSA farms (community supported agriculture) to the "Go Gardening" section. When I wanted to find a CSA farm in Iowa, it took me some time to find them and choose one. Since things like U-pick farms and farmers markets are in there, couldn't CSA farms be in there too as a separate section? I think it's another important part of supporting local agriculture and the farm I use now provides lots of useful growing information if I ask them.

For those unfamiliar with the CSA farm concept, here is a link describing it:
http://www.localharvest.org/csa/

You can find farms using that link, but there isn't a way to comment on them like there would be in the Go Gardening section. According to localharvest.org, there are now over 1000 CSA farms in the USA and the number is growing.

Yes, I love the idea! Terry is out of town this weekend but on Monday I'll talk to her about getting the category added.

I'm very happy to include them, and had thought about it a couple weeks ago (but we've been kinda busy with a lot of "irons in the fire" so to speak). I'll create the new category ASAP ;o)
