Thoughts on the CSA
Posted by michelle on April 28, 2006 07:53 PM

It's been two weeks since I joined the Full Circle Farm CSA. As I went to pick up the first box, pictured above, I was still a bit skeptical about the whole thing. Was it worth the expense? Would it be okay having someone who was not me picking out my vegetables? Was it better than just buying veggies at the farmer's market or the local organic grocery? Could we eat them before they went bad?

I opened the first box and was immediately put to ease with the fresh, earthy smell. The veggies are just lovely. Definitely more fresh and flavorful than the supermarket veggies we normally get. I now find myself always thinking of the vegetables - anticipating the current box, planning the next box, looking at the fridge full of vegetables whenever I go to get something to drink.

The new vegetable obsession is strange for me. In general, I never eat... ate... enough vegetables. Of the first box, all but the potatoes and squashes were gone by the following Wednesday. It turns out that the small vegetable box is almost exactly the right amount of vegetables for me and Mr. Orange for a week. Salads, quiches, steamed veggies, yum.

I'd highly recommend this particular CSA - but I imagine most CSA programs are pretty good. Fresh vegetables with the added bonus of supporting the local farms. An all-around win. Interested? You can check out what's local to you at sites like Local Harvest.
