CSA

[Guest guest]

I am in a food for work program with the local CSA at an organic farm.

My husband was not in favor of it at first, now he loves it. I'm

learning to garden organically in our area and we have had wonderful

food. I think the CSA membership here is 365.00 for 16 weeks. Everyone

gets the same box at different days of the week. I like having the food

packaged for me, because we tried things I never would have before. I

had never heard of sunchokes before, but we loved them roasted with

some olive oil. Our farm gives out recipes with most boxes. Anything

that looked like I had too much and would spoil, I froze or gave away.

The food is usually picked either the same day the boxes are packed or

1 day prior so they are extremely fresh. My husband had never had some

of the vegetables fresh before and the difference between fresh carrots

and store carrots is amazing! If I couldn't work at the farm, we would

definitely buy a membership. Fresh organice food can't be beat and

dividing the boxes received by the dollar amount, it does work out to

be a good deal financially too.
