For about $500 a season, you can have own farmer
Environmentalists recommend buying close to the farm. But actually buying the farm?
A growing number of people around the nation are investing in shares of a local farmer's crop, reducing trips to the supermarket and the cost of shipping food.
'It makes sense that you would save gas on broccoli grown 30 miles away versus California,' said Rob Goldman, 53, a doctor from the Milwaukee suburb of Whitefish Bay.
Goldman will participate this summer in a community-supported agriculture program, or CSA. Members buy a share of a farmer's crop, usually for $500 to $600, and receive a box of vegetables and fruits each week during the summer and fall. A box typically feeds three or four people for a week, although many farms offer half-shares for individuals or couples.
