Risa Burns can’t remember exactly why she couldn’t pick up her farm share that week in the summer of 1998 – but Bethanne Hinkle was happy to ensure the food didn’t go to waste.

The next summer, in 1999, Burns (left, in the photo) and Hinkle decided to split weekly groceries from Stearns Farm CSA in Framingham. Nearly two decades later, the Sudbury neighbors still do the same.
“It’s a very different way to think about cooking and eating,” Burns said.
