My First CSA

I am proud to announce that I joined my first CSA! Many things led up to this decision:

1. I realize despite not eating a lot of meat, I do not eat nearly enough produce (most of my diet consists of starches, grains, and dairy/soy).
2. When I do eat produce, I do not eat enough of a variety of them.
3. I watched the movie Food, Inc. which really convicted me to eat organic and buy local to support local farms.

So I joined a local CSA that has a pickup site about a quarter mile from my apartment. I'm giving it a two month trial period to see how I like it, and I'm only buying a vegetable box every other week due to the sheer amount that they give me. Here is what I got this week:

• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Carrots
• Beets (which I traded in for tomatoes)
• Salad Turnips
• Mustard Greens
• Cabbage
• Dill
• Swiss Chard
• Kohrobi
• Green Onions
• Sweet Potatoes

Yum!!!
