Abundantly Green

We've been trying to eat more veggies around our house and fresh from the ground stuff is so much better, but we just don't have a great place to grow a lot of them. (Peas and potatoes do AMAZING...tomatoes, not so much. I did move the tomatoes this year so I'm hoping for a better crop, but that's beside the point.) So, one day I was looking through some mail we got and there was this thing about a CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) farm that delivers here once a week for 20 weeks. And, they are completely organic - something that I'm starting to really think could be good idea. It's how I grow what I grow, so...

You buy a share in whatever they produce so there is some inherent risk in doing this - if they don't produce anything, you don't get anything. I'd heard of this, but had never really looked into it. I must admit, I was curious, so we bought a mini share in a CSA called Abundantly Green. Just in case you are curious about doing this, I thought I would track what we get for the summer. This will be good for us to decide if we want to do it again, and for you too, if you're curious. I'll keep it updated on the left tab.

Happy Growing Season Everyone!

I keep going to ask you how that was going. Dad thought it was too expensive to do here. They didn't have the mini share. You will have to let us know if it was worthwhile! Too bad you can't enjoy the lettuces!

I think you should mention whether or not you liked the stuff you got. Or if you learned something new to make because of it.
