We received our first delivery on May 17th. We were sooo excitied, and they did not disappoint! A wonderful newsletter accompanied the delivery.
Our farmers at Fruitful Hills CSA do not use electricity or cars due to religious beliefs. Our produce is all produced using horse power - actual horses. Our farmers hire a man to use his mini van to deliver the produce to Kansas City. We use our car to go pick up our produce at the delivery site - about the distance we would drive to the grocery store. So, very little fuel was used for us to get our produce - compared to huge trucks delivering to different points, and then diesels delivering to stores, etc.. Think about this the next time you are tempted to buy something like Chilean fruit at the grocery store...How much fuel was used to get that fruit?
