"I suspect I am like many North Carolinians in that I know people who live or lived on farms, but I've never spent much time on one. As a kid I thought they were dirty. Now, as an adult, the small farm seems in many ways to be as pure, clean, and uncomplicated a place to visit as any place I can find within 30-miles of my house. One year ago I did not know what the letters C-S-A stood for. Now I'm a part of a community supported agriculture operation myself! I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables this year and I’ve made a lot of new friends in my visits to NC farms. I don't expect that to change in the future."
