CSA SHaRE

I am a bit of a CSA nerd.

I love to talk about CSA’s, read about them, visit the farms that offer them and most of all enjoy one. We were with the same farm for a very long time and loved all the produce we were receiving, but for the last year we have been with a much smaller farm (think 2000 shareholders before, now we are one of 40) and the produce is so wonderful. We are also so pleased with our hlaf a dozen eggs and sometimes jams/sauces that come in our box too. Our CSA is owned and operated by an sweet couple, who work so hard to grow delicious and beautiful produce.

We usually have a weekly share year round but since we moved and are now within walking distance to a nice Farmers’ Market, we have gone down to a bi-weekly share for summertime and we hit the farmers’ market every week.

This is what was in our box this week, along with a couple of extras we bought.

Carrots, naval oranges, half a dozen eggs, lemons, dino kale, baby spinach, baby mixed greens, green beans, 2 ruby red grapefruit, 1 yellow onion, 1 bunch of garlic, cherry tomatoes, raw/vegan cilantro garlic dip (so good!), zucchini and cucumber. Extras: Basil and rosemary.

I’m linking up with Denise at cook.eat.think, she is posting what she gets each week in Wisconsin. She got some asparagus in her box! I wish we got some of that, it’s so expensive here and we love it!
