It’s Wednesday again (don’t the weeks just seem to fly by?) which means it’s time for CSA! Josh actually volunteered today to help out with the distribution. All members of the CSA are required to volunteer 4-6 hours per season to either help meet the truck delivery, help with distribution, or help clean up the distribution site, which is a church near our apartment. The nice thing about this particular CSA is that all of the unclaimed\/extra food is donated to the church at the end of the night so it doesn’t go to waste and it’s helping out people who probably wouldn’t normally have access to fresh vegetables and fruits.<\/p>\n
Our share contents this week included:<\/p>\n
Lettuce – 1 head romaine
\nGarlic – 3 each
\nBeets – 3 each
\nCarrots – 5 each
\nOnions – 4 each
\nSquash – 1 lb
\nBasil – 2 oz
\nMixed Baby Greens – .25 lb<\/p>\n
The beets and carrots widely varied in size (some were barely larger than my thumbnail), and I tried to pick out the largest ones. They weren’t super huge but I guess it’s still early in the season. The basil was gorgeous and fragrant, and 2 ounces is really a lot. Same with the mixed baby greens.<\/p>\n
