An article in the LaCross (WI) Tribune tells about Lyyne Tschumper, who became a produce grower at age 50 and for 10 years has increased the percentage of her product she sells to local buyers through the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. With more people wanting to buy food grown nearby, she’s finding success.
And a new blog called Freshman Farmer, chronicles the startup efforts of a younger, much newer CSA farmer named Andrew. His blog is sponsored by Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply, probably thinking that this local farming occupation could catch on.
