Step 1: Join a CSA

I've poked at the idea of joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for about a year. Each time it seemed too expensive, especially if you add it to your existing food budget of boxed crap.

Don't get me wrong - the food we were eating wasn't a never-ending stream of fried pizza stuffed in pork rinds, followed by butter-dipped donuts. The three dudes that regularly gather around my table are meat and potatoes kinds of guys - the guys that can eat a whole chicken breast, two cups of mashed potatoes and a shovel full of frozen peas and only then leave the table sated. But none of us are in our 20s anymore, and middle age is turning out to be just as physically awkward as adolescence. My goal is to change our habits - to shift the focus of each plate from heavy proteins and carbs to veggies (and not miss them).

We shopped around and settled on Greenling - it seems like the most mainstream of all the options out there, plus you can add on to your basket with various other goodies - meats, cheeses, baked goods, etc.
