CSA

Last Friday Timber and I got our first delivery from our CSA, Farm Fresh To You.  CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and typically CSAs are local organic farms that sell directly to their members.  So as a member of a CSA you cut out the middleman which is usually a grocery store and as a result usually get better prices and fresher produce.  Plus you typically get to visit the farm where your produce is grown and can talk to the farmers yourself.  I was introduced to this concept at the end of the book "In Defense of Food".  Here is a link to pictures of our first box.  Our first box included:

1. Kale.
2. Collard Greens
3. 1 head of red leaf lettuce
4. Baby Bok Choy
5. 1 Napa Cabbage
6. 1 Bushel of Carrots
7. 1 Butternut Squash
   
8. Potatos
9. Apples
10. Satsuma Oranges
11. Pears
