Washington Women Outdoors
I know, you have been thinking about getting outside more for the exercise and the sights. Well, here is a great group of women to do that with. The Washington Women Outdoors group provides guided trips all around the Maryland/DC area. One of the things I love about this group is the variety of activities they sponsor. From hiking to rock climbing and kayaking to skiing you can find it all in one group of excited women. Because the trips are rated for different levels of athleticism, it is easy to find an activity that fits your needs and interest. If you're interested in moving your body and connecting with new women, give them and yourself a try.

Community Supported Gardens in Maryland
The Community Supported Agriculture model is simple: the farmer sets a price for a share of the year's produce from his/her farm, then recruits a group of participants who purchase a membership in the farm and receive a weekly supply of fresh-picked produce. CSA members have the satisfaction of knowing where their food comes from and the farmer who grows it. The farmer has a guaranteed market in place, often before the growing season begins, coupled with up-front cash from member payments that can eliminate the need to borrow start-up capital. Farmers also benefit by developing a long-term community interest in the viability of their farm. Reconnecting people with the land and the farmers that support them is an important part of Community Supported Agriculture.
