For those who may not know, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a relationship between an individual or a family with a local farm. The family pays the farm a flat fee at the beginning of the season, and the farmer provides farm products to the family throughout the season. Until my Permaculture Paradise is up and running, I rely on CSAs for my veggies and much of my meat. It significantly saves on the grocery bill. That huge box of vegetables right there cost me about $14-$17. It is certified organic produce that would have cost a lot more and not looked so fresh and vibrant if purchased at the grocery.
The first order of business after arriving home with my box of veggies (aside from taking a photo of it) was to wash, dry, and put away the lettuces. Then, I put away the other veggies (except for those I pilfered because I just couldn't help myself).
Urbanites, this is what carrots REALLY look like.
..and radishes come in all kinds of colors.
Once I was finished, the scraps were fed to very thankful worms in the vermicomposter I won at the Simply Living Fair last year.
