Matt Linehan’s an enthusiastic guy through and through, but what he’s most excited about lately is bringing his fresh farmed food into your residential city kitchen. He does this via a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program which customers can buy into, reserving a portion of his harvest ahead of time. Shares of his 2011 harvest are still available, and at a good price for all you'll get in return.
