We are lucky to live in an area rich with wonderful farm projects year round. This time of year, local farms are revving up their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs. Signing up for a CSA means you get to pick up regular allotments of assorted seasonal produce - sure to be extremely 
fresh and packaged in ample amounts.
Winter Sun Farms, in New Paltz, has a great CSA program with a variety of pick-up spots scattered up and down the Hudson Valley and into New York City. They are taking sign-ups now! Click "pick-up spots" above, or the "Become a Member" tab on their homepage to join. Think you might not be able to finish all the produce without help? Consider splitting the cost and the produce with a friend or neighbor. Check out Chronogram's comprehensive list of Hudson Valley CSAs and Hilltop Hanover Farm's CSA offering.
Despite the cold weather, Hudson Valley farmers are still growing and harvesting. If a CSA membership isn't for you, check out your nearest winter market location, support our local agriculture, and enjoy the freshest produce possible throughout the winter.
