Summer 2010 CSA - week 1
Doesn't it all look delicious!! This is a picture of the contents of our 1st produce box of the summer 2010 CSA season. We got 2 containers of strawberries, a head of red leaf lettuce, a head of bok choy, a bag of swiss chard, a bunch of spring onions, a bunch of broccoli, and several stalks of an herb (not sure what it is). We also got ground beef, chicken breasts, and sugar-cured ham. We will also be getting eggs but they were missed this week so will just be added to next week's box. I can't wait!!
The strawberries are the most flavorful, sweet, delicious things. Of course, I say this every year when we get strawberries. LOL Can you tell I love them? We are planning on having salad at lunch to start enjoying our yummy vegetables.
Our CSA, Avalon Acres Farms, experienced some serious flooding & flood damage during the recent weather events in middle TN. They lost 1200 chickens to the flood and lots of expensive fencing. They are blessed with a wonderful crew and they all pulled together to repair the damage & get the farm back together. The local Amish farmers supply a lot of the produce and while they had flooding...ALL of the crops were okay!! What a blessing for everyone involved...farmers and members. :-) If you are in middle TN you definitely need to check them out and become a member of the CSA. They are wonderful people that truly care about the earth, their animals, and all the people they work with & have as members. They work their buns off to bring us great food for our families.
