an inspiration for the office worker bees

I came across this article on The Heavy Table, about a Minneapolis company that created its own company-sponsored and -harvested CSA in Delano, Minn. What a fantastic, productive team-building concept! Since extracurricular budgets are being slashed and eliminated, a CSA is a great way to socialize and work together with your co-workers, outside of work. It’s a lot of work and needs funding, but perhaps employees would be more willing to contribute financially and physically since there’s a return on investment (in the form of fresh, hand-picked fruits and vegetables). It beats roaming aimlessly around Mall of America on a “treasure hunt” that’s supposed to teach you the importance of communication, right?

Now I wonder if I can wrangle a few co-workers to try something like this next season.

of note

TerraPass posted this article on its blog today, and apparently I’m causing a carbon emission while posting on this one. Thankfully, it’s no more than other common, daily activities, but honestly, I had no idea. Very interesting.

Google searches emit carbon, but not very much
