Week 1: CSA

Week 1: CSA

My CSA arrived today in the most adorable green box.

This week's farm share included:
- Beets
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Hakurei Turnips
- Chinese Cabbage (Bok Choy or Tatsoi)
- Peas
- Garlic Scapes
- and a mystery food below - what is it?




I think I already have a plan for the Turnips & the Bok Choy. I am going to make a cheesy gratin for the turnips and then sauteed broccoli & Bok Choy.


I'll take suggestions for the beets and the garlic scapes.

My CSA Arrives this Wednesday - Whoo hoo!

The countdown begins... my CSA is being delivered to my front porch by MetroPedal Power on Wednesday and I can't wait. It cost a bit more for the home delivery, but I wanted to make this first experience with a CSA a good one and didn't want any excuses for not picking up my share.

The Farmer Dave's website associated with my CSA has a Produce Id Guide on Flickr. I might be putting this to good use this week. Check it out http://www.farmerdaves.net/media/produce-id-guide

The weekly newsletter also contained a helpful article about preparing for your CSA http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/05/10-secrets-tips-for-making-the-most-of-your-csa.html
