To an increasing number of American families the CSA (community supported agriculture) model is the answer to the globalization of our food supply. The premise is simple: create a partnership between local farmers and nearby consumers, who become members or subscribers in support of the farm. In exchange for paying in advance—at the beginning of the growing season, when the farm needs financing—CSA members receive the freshest, healthiest produce throughout the season and keep money, jobs, and farms in their own community. Join farmer and author Elizabeth Henderson, coauthor of The Real Dirt, for an educational evening at Powell's Books on Hawthorne on March 10th, 2008 at 7:30 pm (3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland, OR 97214). Elizabeth farms in Newark, New York, and has been involved in CSA farming for more than 15 years. Call Powell's at 503-228-4651 for additional information.
