CSA

We joined a CSA this year with Three Rivers Farms.  Every week from May to October we got to pick up a bag of fresh veggies and some fruits.  We loved it and really looked forward to each week to see what we would get.  Neither one of us had ever had a turnip and I would say it's a new favorite.  Gabriella and Brian really enjoyed the Kohlrabi.  I would cut it up raw and send it in her lunch.  We figured what we didn't eat, we could juice in our new juicer.  It's time to get healthy! :)





Some of the fun things we enjoyed this year: Some were hit and miss with the drought like season we had, but we really did enjoy being a part of this CSA.
Spring- arugula, bok choi, broccoli, cabbage, celery, chard, fennel, kale, lettuce, peas (shelling, snow, and snap), radishes, salad mix, scallions, spinach, strawberries, turnips


Summer- basil, green beans, beets, canteloupe, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, cucumbers, dill, edamame (fresh soybeans), eggplant, greens, lettuce, okra, onions, parsley, peppers (different colored sweet bells, hot), summer squash, tomatoes (slicers, heirlooms, and canning), watermelon, zucchini


Fall- beans, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, chard, collards, eggplant, fennel, garlic, kale, leeks, lettuce, onions, peppers, potatoes (red, white, and yukon gold), radishes, salad mix, scallions, spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, winter squash (butternut, acorn, delicata, pie pumpkin)
