So I found out a CSA has a pick up spot right near my work! When I signed up, I had every intention of doing it every other week...I certainly didn't need that much produce every week...but I found out that 1 lb of fruit or vegetables is definitely not enough of anything!
I gave in.
Every week, (well for the past two weeks) I get in my car and get giddy with excitement as the CSA lady packs my hemp bags with fresh produce.
The frugal in me had me visiting Whole Foods to size up the competition, and it looks like my CSA is compatible in price, and might be even better, since it is fresh from the farm and it donates to School education in nutrition and gardening programs through Growing Great.
The loot has been pretty great so far.
Week 1, I got:
romaine lettuce
1 peach
2 ears of corn
2 nectarines
2 pluots
a cantaloupe (best one ever)
2 avocados
an eggplant
a bunch of beets
tomato
cucumber
and from Week 2, which yellow pluot I am currently munching on is from, I received:
2 yellow pluots (yummy!)
2 heads of broccoli
kale (my favorite!!!)
asparagus
romaine lettuce
2 peaches
2 nectarines
3 plums
a yellow onion
a head of garlic
3 ears of corn
curly parsley
Now there's something to look forward to on Thursdays!
