CSA
July 15th, 2010
I’ve talked a while to friends about wanting to try out a program called CSA – community supported agriculture – and I finally have done it. Basically it’s like a co-op where you pay a price upfront and get a shipment of food once a week. In this case, it’s locally-grown, organic produce.
And so far, it’s been very fun.
First of all we got the small allotment which is enough for two adults and it’s $24 per week. I think this is very good – look at organic prices at the store – it’s easy to spend that much.
And so far we’ve already tried some new dishes and have cooked some veggies I never buy – like beets.
A few dishes we’ve had lately:
Roasted veggies – sliced up zucchini, squash and onions drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked in the oven. Yum.
Chicken stir-fry with julienned zucchini and squash. (Not only do we have zucchini and squash through the CSA but Steve has grown some good ones in his garden)
Cucumber, tomato salad – chopped up with green onions, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Roasted beets. (wrapped in tin foil sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked – do you see a trend here?)
Sauteed zucchini and squash over pasta with chicken strips.
And I can’t wait to try some zucchini fritters that are in the Food Network magazine this month!
Now, does anyone know what you do with a leek?

Erin, this would make a nice little article for FW Family some time!
Um…you are not going to get a VW van and change your name to Spirit or Moonbeam and wash your hair with rainwater only are you?
Marc, I was thinking dreadlocks and the name Rainbow.
