[Chat] urban CSA options

[Maya Kosok]

Hey Charles Villagers - As you may know, now is the time to sign up for a
CSA share for this season. (Community Supported Agriculture is an
opportunity for consumers to share the risks and joys of the growing season
with their farmer. You pay up front to help the farmer's cashflow and show
your support and you are rewarded all season long with a steady stream of
fresh produce.)

A number of urban farms in Baltimore City have CSA programs, and I  just
wanted to share that info.
