earthly delights: csa bounty week 1

we are so very STOKED.

monday was our first csa pickup of the season.

what's a csa? 

i'm glad you asked...

csa stands for

~community supported agriculture~

here's the deal:

we pay our farmers in advance for the entire growing season,
then we get a "share" of the weekly harvest from the farm.

for us, it is a
◄scrumptious fruit & veggie subscription►
for our farmers, it is a
◄sustainable business model►
and for our community, it is a
◄vibrant local food system►

our incredibly cool farm here in boise is called
☼ earthly delights farm ☼
you can click here to check out the earthly delights website

these are our fab farmers, casey & lori (& norm, the dog)

casey & lori, with the help of several farm interns,
grow our food in a few urban lots & yards in northwest boise.
we are eternally grateful to them
for giving us the opportunity to be a part of something amazing.

our share from week 1:

forellenschuss lettuce head, red oak leaf lettuce head,
mizuna bunch, arugula bunch,
red giant west indian mustard greens,
pac choi, red russian kale, a big spring onion,
french breakfast radishes, flowering chives, rhubarb,
and a cherry tomato plant (to grow at home).

and here's where i might rant a bit...
