Loving Our CCSA

I’ve been remiss in posting our bi-weekly CSA information over the last few months, but a recent tweet from cook, author, and food blogger extraordinaire Michael Ruhlman, which asked for CSA pictures from across the country, spurred me to catch up.

It’s no secret that The Chef and I love our CCSA, and I’m continually amazed by the bounty that is available to us here in St. Louis! Read for yourself …

Our Third Share … and Our Fourth … and Our Fifth!

I think by now most folks know that Chuck and I are members of a local CCSA. It’s a great way to support multiple local farmers … and we love the “surprise” of finding out what we’re getting in our share every other week.

I’ve been remiss in posting our bi-weekly share information so I’m catching today. As I look over everything we’ve gotten in our last three shares, I’m amazed by just how many things are available to us here in St. Louis!

Our Fifth Share:

The other thing I love about our CCSA is all of the extra things I can pick up while I’m picking up my share. When I picked up our last share, I also got some broccoli and raspberries from Eilerman Brothers Orchards & Produce and some cauliflower from Double Star Farm. I do love my vegetables.

Now, what am I going to make? Hmm …
