    What are you eating out of your garden this week?

  • Fresh & Healthy: Community Supported Agriculture (Week 3)

    It is our third week receiving fresh produce from our CSA!  Our family purchased a half of share and will be receiving fresh produce, local honey, eggs and more for 20 weeks.  I plan to give an update on the items we receive from week to week.  The girls and I picked up this weeks goodies at our local farm!  Next week we will not be receiving items from our local CSA because it has been so hot and dry in our area that our local CSA has decided to hold off a week to make sure they have enough produce to provide all the people getting vegetables.

    Week 3 of Fresh Goodies from our CSA!
