Belonging to a CSA has lots of benefits, but one that we don’t always consider is that it can put you out of your comfort zone and encourage you to be a little more adventurous in the kitchen.

>> Mikaela and Jason have been members of Blooming Glen Farm’s CSA program since its first season in 2006. Farmers Tom Murtha and Tricia Borneman and their dedicated crew grow over 75 different varieties of vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs, which are available through the CSA, to restaurants and natural food stores, and at seasonal farmers’ markets.
