Spring is right around the corner and that means CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) time is coming. I wanted to highlight my favorite produce provider Green Door Gourmet. If you have been looking to eat organic vegetables but have been unable to fit them in your budget, then this CSA is the way to go. What is great about CSAs is that you support local farmers and can get a crap ton of fruit and vegetables that are in season at a really low price. All CSAs work differently but Green Door Gourmet is unique because you do not have to join the CSA for the whole season. You can choose on a week-by-week basis whether you would like to buy a box of healthy goodies. Green Door Gourmet gives you 3 options: $20 for a box of fruit and veggies (and generally other goodies such as jams, jellies, herbs, etc) that would feed two people for the week, $40 for a larger box to feed a family, and a "pack your own box" which is priced based on the items you include.
Believe me when I tell you, you really get a TON of ORGANIC produce. $10 a person for fruit and organic veggies for the week? YES PLEASE!
I also highly recommend that you take advantage of the activities they have at the farm which include farm tours, seminars on farming and food, and activities for children. They are located in west Nashville not far from Charlotte Pike at 7011 River Road Pike, Nashville, TN 37209.
