Bronx Foodie: Bronx CSA Roundup & a Recipe for Good Friday

It's that time again!

For all you lovers of CSAs (aka community supported agriculture), it's the season to sign up for a summer share. Deadlines are coming up, so don't miss out.

CSA's are a great way to support a local farm and get fresh produce and other goodies like organic dairy and meat. The only drawback is that you can't choose what comes in your produce box. But if you like surprises that come in the green leaf variety, this is for you. Other options are to visit your local green cart or produce stands and markets. There is a great market on Bedford Park (between Grand Concourse and Jerome) where I buy most of my produce. It's a great way to get inexpensive and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

And be sure to check out The Bronx CSA, which is the newest CSA in the borough. The program charges a sliding fee based on your income and also accepts SNAP/food stamps.

Below (and after the jump) is a list of Bronx CSAs and a link to a recipe for a Dominican Good Friday treat, Habichuelas con Dulce:
