According to Wikipedia, farm-to-table is a social movement which promotes serving local food. (1) One way to support this movement is by subscribing to a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) box at a local farm. Another way is growing your own food.
CSA boxes are subscription services from local farms that give you a range of seasonal produce. Local farms with CSA boxes include The Family Garden Organic Farm, Siembra Farm, and Sweet Roots Organic Farm.
Did you know that you can check out seeds from the library to start your own garden? Our Seed Library allows you to do just that. Visit your local branch to see the Seed Library offerings and check them out.
What to do with all of that produce? We carry several farm-to-table cookbooks that can inspire you. Select the book covers or titles to bring you to the catalog, where you can place on hold to pick up at your home branch or find out which branches currently hold copies and check them out.
Taste of Home Farm to Table Cookbook
This book, from the creators of Taste of Home magazine, contains recipes for all seasons. Unlike some farm to table books, you do not have to have grown the veggies or foraged for the ingredients. No fiddlehead ferns or giant broccoli leaves in here. You can find everything in your local farmer's market, CSA box, or local grocery store. Ever wonder how to make jalapeno jelly? Wonder no more.
