Dear Debra,
I am including a couple of things we can offer you.
1) our resource list
2) CSA ideals
3)list of CSA farms in NJ
We will have a detailed list of all CSAs in North America by early summer
and you could order that in June. Additionally, I will mail you a copy of
our bibliograpy.
Good luck,
Elizabeth Keen
