Our CSA is mere weeks from starting up again, and we are very prepared to be inundated by vegetable goodness! We’ve started with a different farm this year, Garden of Eve (joyful picture above from their website). Their farm has a CSA that’s a little closer to us than last year’s, and we’re excited to check out the new landscape. This year we went for a whole share instead of a half and have split it with another couple, as well as a full fruit share, and two half-dozen egg shares.
We have big plans for dinner parties and picnics and trips to the farm!
As a refresher course, here’s the beloved 10 Reasons to Join a CSA, the abridged version (click to your left to see the loquacious version):
- Support local farms!
- Reduce your footprint!
- Be season conscious!
- Build a community!
- Try new veggies!
- Reduce your meat intake!
- Learn to cook!
- Improve your nutrition!
- Save money!
- Forget the brainstorm!

I think we made the right choice with Garden of Eve this year – they’ve been great so far. I just hope their plants survive the solstice heat-wave better than the wilted people on the street today…
