last week,

anastasia asked why i call it our "share."

in case you were wondering, here's why:

as members of earthly delights farm csa

{csa = community supported agriculture}

we pay in advance for 18 weeks of produce.

this enables our farmer {casey}

to focus more on growing & less on selling,

since her produce is "sold"

even before she has grown it.

each week,

beginning in may and ending in september, 

we go to the farm with our

bags & baskets ready to collect our 

weekly share of the harvest.

our pick-up day is a fun time to visit the farm

and get to know the other csa members.

this is a great way to support our local farmer

{we love her!}

and eat delicious, locally grown food.

each year, casey has a small group of interns

who help her on the farm.

it's an amazing opportunity

that attracts the finest of folks.
