Love Your Veggies!

In lieu of being "green" and eating healthy, my boyfriend and I decided to support our local farmers at Abundant Harvbest. A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm in Hillsboro, Oregon, Abundant Harvest grows high quality, nutritous produce without synthetic herbicides or pesticides, so we get all the goodness nature has to offer!

We joined the farm by purchasing a "share"of the season's bounty. In return for our financial support early in the season, bi-weekly from May to October we get to pick up a box of freshly harvested fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. What we like best about CSA is that as members we get to know who's growing our food and the methods the farmers use. We get to eat seasonally, support local farmers, and eat fresh and healthy foods. We are also anticipating getting to try a variety of new veggies we wouldn't typically buy at the grocery stores. Exciting!
