1000 gifts (CSA edition)

twelve: carrots

thirteen: beets

fourteen: heirloom, cherry, & paste tomatoes

fifteen: sweet corn (barely keeping up)

sixteen: potatoes (way, way more than I know what to do with)

seventeen: cucumber

eighteen: zucchini, pattypan, & yellow squash

nineteen: green bell peppers & poblanos

twenty: basil (typing this helps me to be grateful for all the darn basil)

twenty-one: kale & chard

twenty-two: mustard greens & totchoi

twenty-three: green leaf & romaine lettuce

twenty-four: oregano & mint

twenty-five: kohlrabi

twenty-six: all that's yet to come

It was a good idea.

Sounds awesome. I have wanted to do this but only one person in my house eats produce (at least, happily & willingly).

nice! what CSA are you part of? i have been thinking about trying one out but am unsure if i want to risk having a mound of kale and mustard greens...

We joined the CSA for Valley Family Farm in Milan. I've been pretty happy with it--it was inexpensive for a half bushel, which is a great size for one couple. Sometimes we definitely have too much food, but the only thing we've had mounds of is potatoes, corn, kale and basil. I freeze the kale pretty much every week for winter soups. And the mustard greens and other bitter greens went into salads with milder lettuce. My palette definitely has gotten more sophisticated.

I may try a different farm next spring, just because I'm interested to know how the CSAs differ from farm to farm.
