What is the definition of a "Plant"?
noun: plant; plural noun: plants
• A living organism of the kind exemplified by trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses, typically growing in a permanent site, absorbing water and inorganic substances through its roots, and synthesizing nutrients in its leaves by photosynthesis using the green pigment chlorophyll.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
• For over 25 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.
• Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically, the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (a membership or a subscription) and in return receive seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.

Advantages for Consumers of CSA
• Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits
• Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking
• Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season
• Find that kids typically favor food from "their" farm, even veggies they've never been known to eat
• Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown
• It's a simple enough idea, but its impact has been profound. Tens of thousands of families have joined CSAs, and in some areas of the country there is more demand than there are CSA farms to fill it. The government does not track CSAs, so there is no official count of how many CSAs there are in the U.S. LocalHarvest has the most comprehensive directory of CSA farms, with over 4,000 listed in our grassroots database.

Questions?
Q&A
• Q: Thoughts on Morning Star soy products?A: Morning Star soy products would fall in the “Plant Based Junk Food” or
B- on the Exsalus food continuum. So, using these products sparingly and instead choosing more whole plant food closer to its natural state. They make a very wide variety of products so please consider asking your Registered Dietitian when you see them.
• Q: Can you share refrigeration/freezer limits? A: Please refer to www.stilltasty.com website, browse foods by category
and select the category and you will be given an alphabetical list of foods. Then select the food you are wondering about and it will give you both refrigeration and freezer limits.
