Pigs from Clark Summit Farm.

You may know about community-supported agriculture (CSA) dedicated to providing locally grown produce, but how about locally raised meat? San Francisco Chronicle reports on the meat CSAs of the Bay Area that provide households with "monthly boxes of steaks, stew meat, pork loins, lamb chops, whole chickens and sometimes goat, all raised by Northern California farmers and ranchers, mainly on grass." If you're interested in joining a meat CSA, you can sign up through these websites:

• Bay Area Meat CSA
• Sonoma County Meat Buying Club
• Marin Sun Farms
• Clark Summit Farm
