We got so much stuff I can’t even fit it all in the picture. We haven’t gotten a delivery in four weeks, and we sure have missed it. We’ve been getting a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) delivery since May, and both my husband and I really love it. Just yesterday he mentioned he was getting low on extras for sandwiches and burritos.
One of the perks of living in Southern California is getting such a wide variety of organic local produce. This week we got (roughly clockwise from the back): romaine lettuce, broccoli, beets, kale, cauliflower, rainbow swiss chard, red onions, carrots, another green with yellow flowers (the list isn’t posted online yet), acorn squash, cabbage, pears, tangerines, radishes, red potatoes, and a chocolate/cranberry cookie.
I haven’t planned a menu yet, so if you have any ideas for any of this, let me know. I’m a bit overwhelmed and will probably give some of it away. Because of the holiday, we have ten days to use this all up.
Getting this delivery is helping us eat more healthfully, and also eat less meat. And it’s no more expensive, because I’ve been spending the same amount or even less every month on groceries. Click here if you want to learn more about CSA and find one in your area.
Going to a Farmer’s Market is another great option for getting fresh local produce. Do you belong to a CSA or shop at a Farmer’s Market? Tell us about it in the Comments section. And let me know if you see the ingredients for a favorite dish. I’m low on ideas this week because my mind is on other things.
