CSA LOVE

It's about time really. I've invested in the Growing Washington CSA program for 2012 season. It's the smallest possible investment, because I just don't make that much money. But it's something. I'm so excited that starting June 17 I will get the (6 item) Farmer's Choice box, which could include:

Sugar Snap Peas
Sweet Carrots
Savoy Spinach
Broccoli
Strawberries
Head Lettuce
Spicy Salad Mix
Beets
Spring Onions
French Breakfast Radishes

The way the Farmer's Choice box works is I get what's leftover after other's have chosen their favorite crops. I'm extremely curious to find out what I'll receive. These crops (listed above) also happen to be things I'm growing on my own. But there's nothing like investing in a system you actually support. And how can I dream about operating a CSA someday without actually participating in one? 

One thing I really like about Growing Washington's website is they provide several recipes for each of their crops listed. I will have to try those out. https://growingwashington.org/foodbox/whatwegrow_recipes2.php
