Summer may seem like a long way off, but gardeners and farmers know better. Many are planning now for the growing season.
Among those preparing are Little Hands Garden co-owners Scott and Emily Smith of Bronson. They are marking Community Supported Agriculture Week, Feb. 21-28, allowing customers to register for weekly boxes of garden produce.
CSA membership offers a local, sustainable food source while supporting those who grow the produce.
Little Hands Garden, one local CSA option, offers weekly boxes of fresh vegetables and herbs. Year-round, it offers monthly meat boxes with eggs, butter, beef, pork and, when available, chicken.
