Someone asked if it's too much stuff for an old maid -- well being one of those, I think it is too much stuff IF you think of it as just having some vegetables to have with dinner. But this has changed my entire way of eating. Instead of thinking what I want to eat and going out to buy the ingredients, I look at what I have and think of what I can make with it -- kind of a reverse way of menu planning. I put arugula in a potato casserole. I'm planning a moroccan vegetable dish that I have never made before, because it will use up the beans and the apricots and the carrots. I think it's great fun. Luckily I am not following any regimented diet plan so I can use all the stuff I get.
Thanks to this thread, I looked into my local CSA today. They won't deliver to me because I live on the wrong side of town, but I can pick it up a mile or two from where I work. It will be sooooo much cheaper than buying organic produce at Wild Oats and it's local. I'm so excited. I am going to tour their farm and get signed up for next year.
Mine is..$288 for a June- October CSA - I know there are year round ones here, but in oregon year round means a LOT of lettuce and greens for several months.
strawberries, strawberries, strawberries.....
I will chant "I love my CSA" but the only bad thing I can say is....TOO MANY strawberries. I don't like strawberries. I don't want one strawberry cell anywhere near my mouth. The people I know that I give them to are starting to get sick of strawberries. I wish those strawberries would just turn into a gas and disappear.
This week there were TWO boxes of those little red monsters.
This is what I received ON stands for Ontario, which is where I live. I find the lettuce heads are HUGE these past few months.
ON Green Leaf Lettuce
1lb ON Potato

Spinymouse - I'm betting you could pass those strawberries on to someone, most people love strawberries.
We don't subscribe to a CSA, but between our own garden, the U-pick farm and shopping at the local organic farm (5-7pm Fridays only) and the farmer's market (Fri only), we do pretty well. Tomatoes are just starting here. In fact, we're just starting to get much beyond greens and radishes! We have however had lots of strawberries and rhubarb, and the raspberries are just starting. And I had my first broccoli last week. It's soooo nice to have good, local, fresh produce. I only get it about 3 months a year so I really try to make the most of it. I also try to freeze enough to get us through most of the winter so I'm not buying mediocre stuff that I have no idea where it was grown.
I haven't been thrilled with mine so far. Part of it is just the way it's working out--we bought a 1/2 share ($300) and it's turning out to be way too much for each week (esp. things like chard and collards, which DH and I like but not every day all day).
Other items so far:
radishes
zucchini and yellow summer squash
sweet corn
beets
collards
Swiss chart
various lettuce: redleaf, greenleaf, romaine
scallions
a different herb each week--lemon balm, parsley, chervil, sage, rosemary (the herbs might be the best part!)
I'm looking forward to the tomatoes; I'm sure those will be better.
In any case, it's local and certified organic so at least it's a good cause. Has anyone posted recipes somewhere?
