CSA Done for the Winter
I picked up my last late-season share from my CSA farm on Tuesday. I shall miss the produce and the challenge of what to do with it each week. Will I buy the same range of produce from the supermarket? I doubt it. But I think I will be adding a fuller range of vegetables and fruit in my usual diet through the winter. Tonight’s pot of beef stew includes rutabagas and rutabaga greens, organic red potatoes and carrots from the farmers market, and bay leaves from my bay plants on the patio.
I’ve already re-subscribed to the CSA for 2009, but I have a flyer from another CSA which will be delivering to my workplace. They have an egg subscription separate from the produce subscription. I think I will get the eggs, as my husband has been enjoying eggs for breakfast on the weekend and fried rice with eggs during the week. I picked up organic brown eggs at Winco today. They aren’t from pastured chickens, but it’s the next best thing. I enjoy a Sunday morning walk to Winco to pick up a couple of items while avoiding the annoying crowds.
