I show up at the Farmer's Market and am handed a box with my name on the side filled with all sorts of stuff I might never buy. Encourages me to get creative in the kitchen. :))Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-77401807864819825552009-07-10T13:00:53.935-07:002009-07-10T13:00:53.935-07:00I'm surprised that agriculture is even a land-...I'm surprised that agriculture is even a land-use option in the Prescott area. If a large family needs a house-lot-sized patch of ground for a garden, and if the lot could otherwise be sold for $200,000, doesn't that make for expensive agriculture?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-16765201965011892942009-07-10T11:11:24.753-07:002009-07-10T11:11:24.753-07:00We have CSAs near us on the Left Coast, and I'...We have CSAs near us on the Left Coast, and I'd like to get some neighbors to go in with us on some shares. <br /><br />Thanks for promoting the Prescott-area CSAs! Maybe, via your blog, you can help one- or two-person households in your area to get together and "co-op" a share?<br /><br />Our backyard tomatoes are ripening, and we just finished our first batch of salsa.
