For those of you who are still skeptical about using a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture subscription program), this is why I love my CSA (well, one of the reasons). This week for $26, I had the following items delivered to my front door by a really nice seventh-generation farmer:
2 heads of cabbage
7 peaches
2 pints of blueberries
2 baskets of new potatoes
1 large bag of green beans (about 2 lbs)
6 yellow squash
6 ears of corn
6 onions
6 cucumbers
plus a few extra pints of blueberries and blackberries that the our farmers often leave with us because we have been trying to help get the word out about their services.
We can plan most of a week's meals around that $26 of fruits and veggies. And some of the items we can't get through at the end of the week, we can freeze to enjoy this winter.
