Hey, hey. Look at that CSA. Everything we got in our share was the biggest it has been so far this season. Just look at that enormous zucchini. And those tomatoes. And that one huge beet that seriously overshadowed it’s baby friend. This week was kind of a wild, unusual food week for us. I…
community supported agriculture: week 10.
It’s a week later, and almost all of this produce is still in our fridge. We only had a few days to cook before we went out of town, so I’m definitely accepting any and all recipe suggestions. Here’s how we used a little bit of this week’s CSA basket:
community supported agriculture: week 9.
This week’s box of veggies was heavy! The veggies seem to be growing bigger and heavier each week (look at the size of that squash!), which just means it’s a race to consume all the big stuff before the next box arrives! Here’s how we used this week’s produce:

This week was a huge struggle. Eric was out of town on a business trip for most of the week, and apparently having Eric around is the only thing that makes me act like a fully functioning human. Without him, I’m in bed before 9 pm, pretending a giant smoothie is an acceptable lunch, and…

We’re on week 7 of our CSA adventure, and things are getting more colorful! Here’s how we used this week’s batch of veggies:
community supported agriculture: week 6.
Look, more veggies! It’s week 6 of our CSA, and we are still plugging away. Although, apparently veggie identification is not my strong suit, since I didn’t notice I separated the swiss chard leaves into 2 different piles when taking this photo. My bad. Here’s how we used the veggies this week:
community supported agriculture: week 5.
Just checking in with another week of CSA goodies! We’re only about a quarter of the way through the harvest season, and the bounty seems to be growing from week to week. I think I’m finally getting a hold on the order in which we need to eat things so nothing goes to waste (the…
community supported agriculture: week 4.
Our weekly CSA share seems to be growing! I’m thrilled that we are making a small transition from ALL greens to MOSTLY greens with some other fun stuff. I’m a little disappointed that we don’t get any berries in our share, but I’m making up for it by buying a half flat of berries every…
community supported agriculture: week 3.
It’s CSA time again!
community supported agriculture: week 2.
If you’re just joining us, this is a little series detailing what we receive in our CSA share and how we go about eating it each week. You can read a little more about all things CSA (and catch some recipe ideas from last week) here. We really had to fly through this week’s share,…
community supported agriculture: week 1.
In an attempt to eat seasonally, support local farms, and lower our grocery bill, we signed up for a CSA. “CSA” stands for Community Supported Agriculture, where we pay a local farm at the beginning of the season for a share of their weekly harvest for the growing season. We were a part of a…
community supported agriculture. week 10.
We picked up our final CSA basket last week, and I’m super sad to have to say goodbye to our bi-weekly basket of fresh produce. This is definitely something we’ll have to sign up for again next year. And, once again, I completely forgot to take pictures of our basket. I’ll blame it on how…
community supported agriculture. week 9.
I have failed in the photo department this week. It was pouring down rain on the day we picked up our 9th CSA basket, so I never got around to taking photos. I hope you’ll forgive me. I know how much you all loved looking at that basket of food every week… Here’s the bounty…
community supported agriculture. week 8.
I love our CSA. Have I said that before? I really think that jumping on this exciting agriculture movement was one of the best decisions we’ve made. I love that we have the opportunity to support a local farm, all while eating a delicious array of local produce. With each basket of food, I learn…
community supported agriculture. week 7.
It’s CSA time again! And it is most certainly tomato season in Kentucky. I really know nothing about tomatoes, but my goodness, there are so many varieties! Eric and I have just recently become tomato eaters, although I’m not sure I’ll ever reach the point where I can just eat a tomato by itself. But…
