southside csa: supporting local farmers through community shared agriculture


Check it out-- I just finished an article for One-Earth.com about Southside CSA, the latest CSA to open in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area of Brooklyn. I explain how the CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) system works, along with some interesting things specific to Southside like, for example, as part of their belief in fresh food for all, leftover veggies and fruits are distributed to soup kitchens around Brooklyn. Sound good? You bet your beets.

This is how a popular prom dress shopping site, edressme.com, feels inexplicably compelled to accessorize an organic dress (70% bamboo, 30% cotton) by eco-designer Kate D'Arcy, with an ugly, obnoxious, and oversized fake pink flower ::shudder::. Cause you know, nothing says green like a cheap and unnecessary outfit add-on. Lame.
