“Go Green” Tip of the Week

Do you ever find yourself searching for the perfect Iowa gift? Merchants from the Downtown Farmers Market and the Iowa Food Cooperative have teamed up to put together a CSA (community supported agriculture) of sorts, which is a virtual shopping network. You can now shop the Farmers Market year round and support local merchants. Foods and products are delivered to Merle Hay Mall once a month and shoppers can order online.

One of the many selections this month is apples and poinsettias from The Homestead. The Homestead is an organic farm and learning center for autistic adults in Runnels. For more information about the network visit
