Let’s Talk Community Supported Agriculture

May 17, 2025

This issue of NEWisco Weekend takes a look at Community Supported Agriculture.

Community Support Agriculture is one of the ways for you to get your produce, you know fruits and veggies, direct from the farmer. Teri Barr has the cover story with Justin Duell from The G Farm.

We feature stories on Food waste, Cranberry as King in Wisco, Ticks, the sport of Lacrosse, and the music of Jupiter Lynx! Plus our commentator Amanda Nimmer has helpful tips for getting your picky eaters to eat more fruits and veggies.
