CSAs Rock!

Look at those yummy strawberries!

Last week we joined our first CSA. If you're unfamiliar, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share and in return receive a box/bag of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. So basically families like ours, buy local, organic, seasonal produce directly from the farmer. If you don't belong to a CSA, we highly recommend it. This week we got 4 squash (3 green & 1 yellow), 2 heads of broccoli, 1 bag of strawberries, A bunch of beets, 14 oz. of snap peas, 1/2 lb of spinach, 2 heads of lettuce, 2 bunches of bok choy, and a cucumber. I can't wait to see what we'll get from next week's harvest!
