Farmers Markets: A CSA model for seafood in Santa Monica
|
10.5.2013 |
L.A. Times - Food & Dining |
Fishermen selling their own catch at Southern California farmers markets are vanishing. An attractive alternative is Community Seafood, a "community-supported fishery" that started selling last Sunday at the Santa Monica Main Street farmers market . Founded by two marine scientists, Sarah Rathbone and Kim Selkoe, it seeks to support local fisheries and provide ultra-fresh, sustainably caught fish to subscribers. |

In spring, an ex-gardener's fancy turns to fresh produce from a CSA farm
|
3.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| The Land Stewardship Project's "CSA Farm Directory" is the best single resource I know for seeking out CSAs in the Twin Cities region.
Back when I lived in the city, coaxing vegetables and greens out of a few raised beds, springtime was for dreamy ambling through the garden catalogs.
Pole beans or bush beans this year? Which new tomatoes to try? Is zucchini worth the room it takes up?
Now that I live on 10 woodsy acres surrounded by farms, with space for about as big a garden plot as I care to clear and cultivate, I've frankly lost interest.
The buckthorn keeps me plenty busy, and there's always firewood to put up. A gutter needs replacing. My kayak leaks and our little sailboat needs her hull repainted. ...

Salt Lake Tribune |
| by Heather May The Salt Lake Tribune
Published Apr 23, 2013 09:54AM MDT
Courtney Hartsfield wanted to feed her 4-year-old twins organic fruits and vegetables, but she couldn’t afford the retail prices. And, as a novice gardener, growing her own produce didn’t seem like an option. Luckily, the 38-year-old Sugar House resident was willing to work. She joined Live and Thrive Community Supported Agriculture program, one of the few CSAs in Utah that require members to work for food. Members like Hartsfield are learning to garden and in turn are able to take home organic ... ... |

A group of Rarámuri Indians from Bocoyna Municipality, who marched into the governor’s palace in 2008 to demand that genetically modified corn not contaminate their native seeds.

'Pasture-Raised': Can This Under-the-Radar Food Label Go Legit?

8.4.2013 |
Organic Consumers Association News Headlines |

"Pasture-raised." In recent years these descriptive, evocative words have become synonymous with the real thing: Meat and eggs produced on open fields, generally at a scale that is both humane and ecologically friendly. In other words, it has become the anti-factory-farming label, more likely to show up in places like farmers markets and websites advertising animal shares and meat CSAs.
