CSA Haul (beehaw.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by ffmike@beehaw.org to c/greenspace@beehaw.org

I am fortunate enough to live mere blocks from a local CSA farm (they hung on to a few acres of farmland when their family sold most of the area for a housing development) and we're getting into good harvest season. Today's haul: radishes, carrots, turnips, basil, cherry tomatoes, kale, edible flowers, onions, lettuce, oyster & lion's mane mushrooms. Veggies for dinner tonight! (and yes, if you can find me, you're invited).

If you have a CSA in your area, I urge you to check out the cost of membership. If you can afford it, it's usually a win both for small farmers and for the quality of your diet.

I'm so jealous! We're just getting into nights above 50f (10C) but a number of growers have already dropped out of our local market and have had a hard time fulfilling their CSA members due to the weather weirdness.
