First box, so I can't rightly say. But the farm seems to be very committed to providing a variety of Tasty Foodz. (We have all-year planting around here, lucky us.) My friend who has been with this CSA for a while is very happy with them.

We have a lot of CSA options around here. This one had Small/Medium/Large options and a good pickup spot. My previous CSA was a bad experience because those of us with "half boxes" used to have to do our own dividing and it wasn't always fair.

Did you get my mail of a few days ago?

If you have one available in your area, by all means, check it out. Supporting farmers at the market is 100% Grooviness That Will Heal The World but the great thing about CSAs is year-round income for the farmers. You might get a lot of potatoes and kale in the winter tho' ;).

I'm jazzed about the meat thing and hope it works out; the meat is more expensive than it would be buying free-range at even the spendy grocery, but I am a Farm (country) Girl and like the idea of, well, keeping a family farm in business. The deal is either 10# or 15# once a month of a combo of chickens, pork, and beef, plus a dozen eggs. I'd kind of like to eat a little less of it, of higher quality.

(There's more to the other story. Does Fluffy have lives to spare?)

I'll dig out the link for MEAT and post it. Will definitely keep you posted.

Today's small box was:

small bag o' cherries
basket o' strawbs
bunch carrots
zucchini (4)
navel oranges (2)
garlic

my size is designed for "we are small households and don't cook a lot". I am thinking upgrade. Medium boxes got salad greens, snap peas, and English peas this week.
