Went strawberry picking today... these aren't technically from the C.S.A., but they are fresh and organic produce so I figured I'd pop them up here. Yum. Strawberry salad for dinner!
Our family recently joined a C.S.A. - Denison Farms.
We're looking forward to a season's worth of fruits and veggies from the good folks over at the farm. I plan on blogging the whole experience... including pics of each week's bounty, what I cook with it and whether or not my family will eat it! Want to know more about why we joined a C.S.A.?
What is C.S.A.?
Community Supported Agriculture (C.S.A.) consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or spiritually, the community's farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production.C.S.A.’s focus is usually on a system of weekly delivery or pick-up of vegetables, sometimes also flowers, fruits, herbs and even milk or meat products in some cases.
