Local Food Holiday Gift Ideas 2009
1. A One-Week Share from a local CSA
Both Geraldson Community Farm in Bradenton and Gamble Creek Farm in Parrish are offering a "One Week Share." The gift certificate will entitle the recipient to attend one pickup and enjoy the bountiful harvest of that week. (pickups are Wednesday or Saturday) It is a great way to introduce someone to eating locally! (We will mail you a gift certificate to give to your loved one)

2. A CSA Share
Both farms are also offering full and half shares as gifts for this holiday season. One option is a half share that entitles the recipient to pick up a share of vegetables every other week at one of the farms from January until May. Or you can buy a certificate good for a full share that allows the reciever to pick up every week from the farm from January to May.
