Here’s what FED Urban Agriculture's wonderful CSA member Kat has to say about her experience last year: 💬 Having a CSA share from FED was an absolute joy. Every week, we received a variety of veg - greens were always included, which was fantastic, as well as other veggies grown locally, so there was a good diversity of items. The staff are kind and generous. I can't say how wonderful it is to be able to get sustainably grown food directly from a farm that is literally a few minutes from our home!
