One of the best ways to incite positive change and create a culture of wellness is to make it simple to be healthy. We’ve found that one of the easiest examples of this is community-supported agriculture, an on-trend delivery model that allows individuals to “subscribe” to a local farm and receive a weekly share of fresh fruits and vegetables. While some people choose to get their share delivered to their house, we’ve seen a lot of companies offer to have the CSA provider drop off the produce at their office. As an employee perk or an optional service, we think it’s one of the best ways a company can provide easy access to healthy, nutritional foods.

Here are the do's and don'ts of adding ingredients to your salad. 

Don't add a creamy dressing. Ranch, thousand island, Caesar or blue cheese dressings are often cream- or mayo-based and add a bunch of unneccesary calories.
