I want to introduce you this program offered by Hen House Markets. I have been apart of this for a few years and feel its an awesome opportunity for local farmers to get their product to the supermarket. Local Farmers Markets are awesome, but their somewhat limited in regards to customer base and products. If interested check this out at henhouse The benefits of belonging to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program are as plentiful as a summer harvest. As Midwesterners, we are in touch with the land and the important history of farming. Belonging to the Hen House CSA at your company directly supports family owned and operated farms, run by people who have worked the land for generations. Committing your food purchasing power to local farmers at the beginning of the season allows them to grow an ideal amount of food and avoid over or under producing. Your participation in the CSA is an investment in the farmer, who in turn is investing his time and resources to grow high quality food for you. Your CSA membership also supports the local economy by circulating your money into your community instead of transferring it to another city- and you’re keeping more money in your own wallet! Each week, your bag contains up to a 30% savings compared to buying the same items at the grocery store. Not to mention your additional savings in gas and time. Non-local food travels 1,000’s of miles and many days before it arrives at the grocery store. It loses valuable nutrients each minute of that journey. To prevent spoilage during the food’s transit, non-local produce is almost always picked before it has ripened which sacrifices the taste. When you spend your valuable time cooking a delicious meal, you want the best flavor seasonal produce has to offer! That’s what you’re getting with the local produce in your CSA. Belonging to a CSA means you are actively engaged in supporting Kansas City’s local economy and food community. As a member of the 2013 Hen House CSA, you will receive the most nutrient-rich and flavorful food available in Kansas City during this growing season.
