There’s no need to run all over town just to get your hands on fresh, local produce. Not when you can sign up for a CSA, or community-supported agriculture.
Maya’s Farm, a small enterprise run by Maya Dailey within The Farm at South Mountain development, offers CSA members a weekly allotment of fresh, hand-picked, certified organic produce. The spring CSA season starts Friday, April 11 and Maya’s Farm is accepting applications now.

Membership costs $300 for the 12-week season, or $25 a week. In addition to the produce members also get seasonally inspired recipes from local restaurants and chefs and advance notice and early bird pricing for Maya’s Farm special offers, workshops, Farm to Table dinners and other special events.
