I found out that a farm just up the road from me had a summer produce CSA.
Yay, local produce!
Yay, reducing my grocery-related carbon footprint!
Yay, supporting local business!
Yay, yummy things for me all summer!
As soon as my tax refund came through, I wrote a check for $500 and sauntered up attaway.
In the driveway sat a car with the following bumper stickers:
Bush/Cheney ’04
McCain-Palin

ohhhh, snap! was it the farmer’s or were there perhaps other people working there or dropping off moneychecks?
hey, one of my meat guys stamps vote ron paul on all his one dollar bills he gives in change.
i like to think we change them, slowly, as we interact with them. the csa provides them access to people they would not otherwise meet.
convincing?
