CSA: Week #1


We joined the Beautiful Earth Family Farm CSA (community supported agriculture) this year. Basically, you pay your fee at the beginning of the year which they use for seeds, etc. and then each week through the summer, you pick up a box of veggies! We are very excited. The farm is working towards being certified organic and uses all organic methods. Chandra, the woman in charge, is really nice and explained to us how to cook all the vegetables. This is going to be a great summer and fall. We can't wait for yummy fresh veggies, especially ones new to us, plus being able to introduce them to Andrew.

This is week #1 of 20. Because the season is just starting (it was a cold, long winter / spring), it's a "lite" share with mostly lettuces, but it's going to get a lot bigger. I thought I would keep track of every week.

This week:

Red Russian Kale Greens Bunched
Baby Collard Greens Bunched
Rapini and Mixed Stir Fry Greens
Red and Green Leaf and Baby Butter Lettuces
Green Garlic tops and bulbs
