I’m happy to announce that it’s CSA time again!! Josh and I have been eagerly looking forward to the start of the CSA season, and we can’t wait to dive into all of our fresh veggies. For those of you who would like to learn more about CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), please read here<\/a>. Basically we have purchased a share in a farm for the summer,\u00a0 which means that we will start getting weekly vegetable deliveries for the next 22 or so weeks.<\/p>\n After much debate, we decided not to get the fruit share this year. While we loved all the fresh fruit and juices last year, we simply couldn’t keep up with the amount that we received. Sadly, lot of fruit ended up going to waste, and we really didn’t want to see that happen again this year. We thought about getting a bi-weekly fruit share instead, but even then I doubt we would have been able to consume it all.<\/p>\n There was a bit of a snafu with our usual CSA pickup location, but fortunately the organizers were able to find an alternate location that was extremely convenient. I picked up our share before heading to the gym, as Josh is away on a business trip. The earlier weeks of the share are usually smaller harvests, but I was happy with both the amount of the quality of the items we got. For our first share of this season, we received:<\/p>\n Lettuce – 1 head
\nGreens – 1 lb
\nRadishes (mixed colors) – 5 each
\nGarlic – 2 each
\nGarlic scapes – 8 each
\nSpring onions – 4 each
\nBeets – 3 each<\/p>\n
