Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I haven't used a CSA yet, but may next year. There are a lot of them nearby, also. I have a small vegetable garden, tomatoes, squash, peas and beans. We really didn't have much of a summer for the tomatoes. Never really got warm enough. They didn't start ripening till late.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I'm off to pick up my second CSA basket this year.......... Green garlic, Bibb and other lettuce, mini bok choy and regular bok choy, salad turnips (Hakurei) purple plum radishes and asparagus..... Very exciting! This is the first year I bought a share because this is the first year they offerred a share which is only every other week. Even so it will be a lot of veggies for me, but what's a freezer for, huh?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. I have belonged to one for four years. A local farm, (in this case organic) " sells " shares of their harvest to interested individuals at the beginning of the year. The fee is paid at the beginning of the year, or in quarterly or monthly payments. Growing seasons vary, some are just for the summer. Here in Western Oregon, where we have a long (270 days) growing season, we get 45 weeks of vegetables. Our pickup location is in a central location, but I understand some CSA will provide delivery for an additional fee. Each pickup contains an assortment of 6 to 8 vegetables, and is seasonal (what has been stored from the previous season or growing in the fields at the time). There is always a variety, and recipes provided to help you deal with new things. There are lots of new things! Like Cardoon, and Salsify. Celery root has become a favorite. I have really learned to appreciate Kale too, using it both raw & cooked. If this sounds interesting, check to see if one is available in your local area; most have web sites you can browse.
