Sign up for a CSA program. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to local farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture\u2014or CSA programs\u2014are an excellent way to get local meat, veggies, fruit and\/or eggs directly from a local farmer. These programs invite people of the community (like you!) to invest in a local farm for the season and those paying members get to enjoy the annual harvest however abundant it may be. Typically, you pay a one-time fee at the beginning of the season. Then, you get to be a part of the farm community and enjoy a portion of the harvest every week. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Southeast Michigan has been built largely upon our agricultural history, our community boasts several thriving, local and family-run farms, and many of these farms offer CSA programs!
