Bountiful Harvest


It is week 4 of the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) we are a part of. Here is a photo of our vegetables from last week. Turnips, green onions, lettuce and strawberries. I think there is kale back there you can't really see.

So far we are enjoying the surprise of whats to come each week. We have gotten creative and googled recipes for the veggies that are new to us. We find that we grill out Saturday night with lots of vegetable sides.

It is like having your own garden without the work! We like knowing we are supporting local agriculture and stretching our comfort zone of vegetables. Our favorite cooking method is to saute' the greens down with onion, garlic and apple cider vinegar.

Check out www.localharvest.org to see if there is a CSA near you.

I think that CSA's are wonderful ways to support our local farmers. At the same time, I am looking forward to seeing what creative recipes you come up with for cooking the wide variety of foods you'll receive from your CSA.

This summer, we're planning to shop at farmers' markets and buy in bulk there too. Any other good ideas for eating locally grown foods?
