The pandemic has been good for very little, but one silver lining is the rise of local delivery options and heat-and-eat meals.
Hickory Nut Gap, for example, recently launched a new home-delivery program for its Community Supported Agriculture meat boxes.
Launched in late February, HNG has partnered with Leading Green Distribution to bring contactless home delivery of sustainably raised meat to the Asheville area.
What s a CSA? It s basically a pre-paid promise to focus your cash with one local business, usually a farmer.
In this case, it means a renewable three-month subscription for Hickory Nut Gap steaks, roasts, sausages, ground beef, whole chickens, pork chops and more.
