We signed up for a CSA [community supported agriculture] program last week and we picked our first box up on Tuesday. We pondered it a year ago but ultimately decided that we liked choosing our produce from the local farmer's market. Chris' parents have participated in a CSA for a while and like the fact that it requires a fair amount of creativity in weekly meal planning. I am now facing the same puzzle; like what am I going to do with the GIANT bunch of chard stuffed into the box? Any suggestions? We signed up with Full Circle Farm in Carnation, Washington. The selection, quality, and quantities have been quite good, so far. My only beef at the moment is that not all of the food is local or in season. Like the mango. Um, mangoes? In Seattle? Surely not from around here...
