Community Supported Agriculture: Red Ridge Farms

Today Soren and I stopped by Red Ridge Farms, south of Odessa, to pick up our first week of vegetables from the CSA. We have a half share, and that's plenty of veg for us. Most of the produce this week came from the high tunnel because it's been pretty cool in the area. I really like buying food from a local producer, where you can see where and how it's grown. The Zumalts' have a nice place. They grow plants organically and use sustainable methods, such as using natural predators to control pests, fertilizing with chicken litter and watering with rain that has collected in their pond. (It's drinking water quality!)
