Cheryl Palmer volunteers at the Rio Gozo Farm community supported agriculture in Ojai. CSA is a growing trend, allowing people in urban areas to get fresh produce dropped off to them periodically. CSA's website states: "When you become a member of a CSA, you're purchasing a 'share' of vegetables from a regional farmer. Weekly or bi-weekly, from June until October or November, your farmer will deliver that share of produce to a convenient drop-off location in your neighborhood."
