Well, I went out and picked up my first CSA box yesterday, and now I've got some goodies to eat this week! This week's box had:
*A head of romaine lettuce
*A bunch of kale
*A bunch of radishes
*A bunch of beet greens
*A bag of mixed salad greens
*A handful of dried hot peppers from last year's harvest
Hooray, hooray, for the CSA!

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is a CSA box? Sounds yummy to me.

Marly - CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture - and in most cases, you buy a "share" of the farm. You pay a seasonal fee or yearly fee to the farmer and in exchange you get a box per week (or however often you agree on) of yummy, fresh-from-the-farm produce. Some CSA's just have veggies, some have fruits, veggies and herbs, and some even throw in a bouquet of fresh flowers every box. It's a great way to eat healthfully and locally, while supporting local agriculture.

| My box this week had butter lettuce, salad greens, bok choy and spring onion...and maybe some radishes...or perhaps those were last week. They made a great salad with red apple and miso mayonnaise. |
