It’s almost time for our vegetable pickup to start. We’ve participated for the past three summers in the Community Sponsored Agriculture program with Elmwood Stock Farm. It couldn’t be easier, every week I pickup a basket of vegetables and a half-dozen free-range eggs from the farm’s stand at the farmer’s market. They give us tips on storage and a few recipes, so it’s not like I’m totally on my own.
We’ve received many veggies we really like, a few veggie we really don’t like, a few veggies we’ve just never eaten before and a very few veggies that we’ve never even heard of before… kolrabi, anyone?
I thought I’d try to blog about what we get and how we prepare it. I need to do better with meal planning and maybe this will be a good start.

We totally love kohlrabi! Damon loves to make a cabbage and kohlrabi salad. Crunch! Crunch!
How much is the CSA? I’ve thought about doing something like that before. Is it just veggies and eggs? Inquiring minds!!!!

The actual CSA is just the veggies, there are three sizes of shares to choose from. Eggs (half dozen or dozen per week), beef, and chicken are all available as add-on’s. They also do a winter share, I think it is just three pick-ups of root veggies.
