Today was the start of a farm share program on campus, which I'm super excited about. I've been wanting to invest in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) for a while and jumped at the chance when my school announced that it would be hosting a program with Warner Farm this fall. Each Tuesday, for the next eight weeks, we'll receive a share of the harvest. The fun part is that we don't pre-select what we receive; we get what the farm sends us. I think it will be a great incentive to learn how to prepare different vegetables - ones that we don't ordinarily buy. At least, that's the plan. As expected, there was a big box waiting for me at the pick up site, brimming with fresh produce. This week, we received sweet corn, beefsteak tomatoes, red peppers, jalapenos, red leaf lettuce, rainbow chard, eggplant, butternut & spaghetti squash, macintosh apples and strawberries. Now we just have to figure out what to make :)
