Last year was our first experience with a CSA, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it again. Part of the problem was that our old CSA (which I loved for many, many reasons) was about a 35 minute drive from home, and the pick-up interfered with other Wednesday night activities. After a long winter without fresh vegetables, we broke down and joined a (different) CSA this year. The pickup location for our new CSA is much closer to home (it is a 7 block walk). The prices were a little bit lower as well, but the format of the CSA is different. Last year we had a half share, which meant we got half of a box of produce every week. This year we signed up for an every other week share (which seems more typical, based on the CSAs we looked at) and we get a full box of produce every other week. Last week was the first official week of our CSA, but we're even-week EOW customers, so today was our first pick-up.
We got lettuce, green onions, chives, and radishes. I'm ready for salad!
If only I had saved a few strawberries from the farmers' market . . .
