Consumer Supported Agriculture

Look what I brought home!It's my first CSA pick-up!

CSA= Consumer Supported Agriculture. Tim and I decided to buy a half share of vegetables, a full share of fruit, and a full share of herbs from Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-operative this year. The cost of the share supports local family farms, and in return? We receive  flavorful, organic produce that has been picked the day before we receive it once a week.   We also receive an education about eating seasonal produce (including recipes!) and  how the weather affects food production.Seems like a good deal to me.

Our share this week1 bunch radishes, 1 bunch scallions, 1 bunch green kale,1 head red, green or flashy troutsback Romaine lettuce, 2 small heads green leaf lettuce,3 portabello mushrooms.

Right now,  I'm thinking that there is going to be a lot of grilled mushrooms, stirfries, kale chips, salads, and roasted radishes in my tummy in the coming week. I'm looking forward to it.
