CSA Harvest: May 29, 2011

New this week: grass-fed (naturally 93% lean) ground beef from a new supplier, a bumpy & fun variety of cucumber, broccoli, and an easy and filling hamburger curry onion pie recipe.

Choices: We got to choose 2 summer squash and I picked one of each type. In addition, we had the choice between scarlet queen turnips, red russian kale, and rainbow chard. Because it is probably the last time we'll have kale (summer heat is not good for this cool-weather leafy green), I picked kale.

CSA Harvest: May 8, 2011

Small Farms CSA on Wordpress New this week: kohl rabi (super yeah!), red Russian kale, 12 dozen eggs, salad radishes, green garlic, a very satisfiying soup recipe (see the kale's Cooking section for details), and new ways to store greens to keep them yummy for longer.

We start the biweekly meat share next week with a whole chicken! The eggs we'll be getting biweekly, as well, but on opposite weeks from the meat. Our every-four-weeks share of goat cheese chevre from Decimal Place Farm will also be appearing in the next couple of weeks.

Local, organic produce share for $350 from the Small Farms CSA (Fall 2010)

A summary of the goodies that we got in our Fall/Winter share from our our local CSA (Small Farms, run by the Love is Love farm).

As Joe said, it truly was "the season of roots and greens"!

I've broken the produce out by type of vegetable and, as you can see by the total numbers at the top, we got A HUGE AMOUNT of leafy greens, roots, and vegetable fruits. I've also tried to include some of my thoughts on each item, either recipes or storage or just general reflections.
