Victory Acres CSA Local Organic Farm

I've never had much of a green thumb. I've grown a few things, but when the weeds come in, that's when the trouble starts because I have an allergy to some of the weeds that breaks my skin out in a rash. To work in the garden, I have to cover up with gloves, pants and long sleeves which can get really hot in the summer. So, instead of going through all that, I prefer to go to the farmer's markets.

A few years ago, I was looking online to see where the farmer's markets were located in our community and I ran across information about Victory Acres - a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm in Upland, Indiana which is only a few miles away from me! I couldn't believe that I had access to fresh produce so close to home. I signed up for their membership program and went to get my allotment each week. It was nice because I had access to vegetables I would have never grown or picked up at a farmer's market. They also have events throughout the summer to get their members together to learn about them, their mission, and other fun and educations events.

It's almost time for the growing season to begin. Victory Acres is offering a gift certificate for the early birds who sign up this week. If you are in a different area, you can check out LocalHarvest.org which the the website where I discovered Victory Acres. I'm so glad there are people who offer local produce to their community so we don't have to guess where our food came from or what's in it. The mission they have to reach kids in the inner city is important too. It's an investment in our community and future that I am happy to make.

See you at the farm!
