CSA Week 1

I signed up for a medium share at the Gorman Produce Farm’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) for this season and yesterday was my first pick up. My husband and I were out on other errands so we drove over even though the farm is less than a mile from our house.

They provided two reusable bags for each member to use for the season. There was a chalk board listing this week’s full and medium share items. I walked around to pick up everything for the medium share:

  • Tatsoi
  • Cilantro
  • Arugula
  • Pac choi
  • Mizuna
  • Garlic scapes
  • Red butter lettuce
  • Romaine lettuce

 I’m going to be eating a lot of fabulous vegetables this summer - mostly in salads. The refrigerator has been reconfigured to accommodate the extra amount of greens.

On the way home we clocked the distance and the round trip would be 1.5 miles…a comfortable hike. Maybe the CSA will turn into a healthy choice from both a food and exercise perspective!
