Gone are the days when CSA meant produce only. Meat, medicinal herbs, coffee - you can nab a share of almost anything farmed or fished. We've highlighted our favorite sources.
1. Poultry and Eggs
In Kent, CT, Camps Road Farm provides one pasture-raised chicken and a dozen eggs to members each week. (campsroadfarm.com)
