Well, my daughter used to have one every night that when she was ready to go get her father to read a book before bed, she'd run down the hall yelling “WHAT’S THE LOW TONIGHT, DAD?”
And even more humorously she invariably answered her own question with something not-so-seasonal-anymore like “probably sixty-six”.
We've had a few nights already where Gene answered her question with “29”.
One thing I can say for sure about most new CSA members, is that you report having to work to eat all of the veggies that come every week in the farm share. That it gets you eating more veggies than you have in your life.
And especially the lettuce can be a lot for some people, at first. This is even true of some seasoned CSA members…
Frittata? Does the fancy sounding word intimidate you?
One of my 3-year-old daughter’s favorite books is 'Fancy Nancy'. Anyone else know the one?? And with this post I feel rather like her…
“Frittata is a fancy way of saying an easy egg dish that you can put lots of veggies into and make fast!”
I think that the word 'frittata' probably did intimidate me growing up. I thought of frittata or quiche as something only the cutesy French brunch place could do right…
For you, gardening is relaxing and rewarding. You get to take your shoes off and feel the cool soil and grass. It gets you outside the house hands in the dirt growing food.
A garden is a great place to unwind when you get home from work or on the weekends on your free time. It is also a great place for kids (and adults!) to learn about food.
Many of our CSA members come to the CSA because they love garden fresh so much but don’t quite seem to have enough time or space to grow it all themselves.
Here we are in April waiting for the snow to melt. Waiting for winter to be a distant memory. We got an unusually early first snow, way back on November 10 that just stuck and didn’t ever melt.
Six months later we just got another 8” of fresh white stuff on top of the not all the way melted winter snow pack.
My daughter says, “the trees have snow on their teeth” aka snow is covering all the trees, the spring bird songs are muted, and the mud is no longer on our boots.
One of the most common questions I get from customers, friends, family—basically anyone who ever tries our carrots—is WHY do these carrots taste so good?
The truth is our carrots just taste better, and even more so in the winter.
It is counter-intuitive, but the starches present at harvest convert into sugars over the course of the storage season.
And by March, we say “Wow! These carrots taste amazing!”
