ModLife, the blog of Strip District-based online retailer
ModCloth, has published a post encouraging readers to eat locally and, if possible, organically, through joining a CSA.
A CSA, which stands for Community Sponsored Agriculture, is "a farm food cooperative that allows you to 'share' in the harvest of a local farm." There are more than 900 CSAs in the U.S., and most of them deliver fresh produce to city-dwellers from May through November. CSA options in Pittsburgh include: "Cherry Valley Organics (who offer freshly cut flowers with your share), Dillner Family Farm (family run since the 1940s), Harvest Valley Farms (featuring a bakery) and Kretschmann Farm (offering a stunning variety of apples)."
