Tucker Farms Changes Its CSA Pricing: 24 weeks delivered for $500

Tucker Farms'has changed it's CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) offering. A full share--which is 24 weeks of fresh vegetables--is now only $250 or $500 shipped to your door via UPS.
 
You get a half bushel of fresh vegetables every week for at least 24 weeks.  (Picture a box about 13"13"x6").  A full share should provide enough vegetables for a family of four --less if you're vegetarians. 

 
Owner Jerry Tucker is not certified organic, but follows organic practices in his farming--from what he uses to fertilize his crops to what he uses to "keep the critters at bay."  Actually, he says that most of the time he has "plenty of birds and beneficials that take care of it for me."

Seven (make that eight) New Vendors Join EatGreenDFW.com

Seven new vendors have added pages to the EatGreenDFW.com website as we continue to make progress towards our goal of becoming the single, most comprehensive site focused on all things local.

Calais Winery, a boutique winery that crafts small amounts of high quality wines using traditional French techniques.

Truth Hill Farms, which offers natural grass finished beef and lamb and  pasture raised pork, chicken and eggs.

Rosey Ridge Farm, a small family farm that makes baked goods, fruit jams, hot chocolate mix, granola cereal, and roasted coffee.

ManHadled, which design and hand machines custom and pop culture pinback buttons, magnetic button jewelry and beaded button wine charms.

ERth on a Shoestring, makers of hand painted jute bags

And the newest: Grapevine Grains, where Steve and Vickie Smolek provide products like granola made with freshly-milled, stone-ground flour and freshly rolled oats.

Discussion Page Added

In the interest of allowing you folks to pipe up when you have something to say, we've added a discussion page where you are free to start or join any discussion you want (but try to keep the focus on food and local).  The usual rules apply, no flaming and no foul language.

We started the first discussion on local restaurants that serve locally produced foods and want to invite everyone to add their favorites.  If we get enough of them, we'll list them in their own section.
