NeighborhoodHealth Announces Spring CSA Program is Open for Enrollment

If you’ve been looking for a way to eat more veggies, try something new in the kitchen, and support local farms while you’re at it, NeighborHealth’s CSA program might be your answer. A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) allows community members to purchase a “share” of a local farm’s harvest. Each week during the growing season, members receive a box of fresh produce that changes with what’s in season. Many participants say the program has helped them improve their diet, cook more at home, and discover fruits and vegetables they might not have picked up otherwise.
