The NFA Model
What is the NFA Model?
The NFA Model is a wonderful way to support farmers and reap the benefits of the produce they grow. Basically, you purchase a membership up front and then once the produce is ready, you get a weekly box for a certain number of weeks. This exposes you to seasonal fruits and veggies and may introduce you to things you've never thought to buy before.
Since you don't necessarily know what will be in your box each week, it's a great surprise and allows you to experiment with 'cooking on the fly'. But if you are panicked by the Iron Chef-style surprise ingredient cooking, we have got you covered with recipes according to each of the six Noongar seasons.
Purchasing from local farmers helps to support the local economy, fuel your optimal health, and improve the environment by reducing the distance that food travels from farm to plate. Chat up your local farmers at the farmers markets and be curious and open minded - I think you'll be surprised at how much valuable knowledge you'll learn.
