CSA update
A while back I had a podcast and post about a local CSA run by The Dahlia Farm. I thought I’d post an update on how it’s gone. We’re a couple of months in now. The posted picture is of a recent 1/2 share. We have baby/pickling cukes, fresh basil, kohlrabi, zuchini, baby carrots, blueberries, red/green swiss chard, green beans.
Early in the season there are lots of greens – many whose names I can’t spell or remember – along with more traditional fare. So far I’ve been real happy with the CSA and Mr. Reynolds(a friend of my BTW) has been good about soliciting feedback.
I pick up my share once a week and usually hit the supermarket on the way home to buy stuff that compliments the share. For instance, there may not be all the ingredients for a salad, but there is usually most of them depending on the season. On occasion there might be a bit of fresh cut flowers or even some home made soap. Nice.
All in all it’s been a great experience. The food is fresh, free of chemicals, and quite a notch above what I’ve been buying in the supermarket.
