CSA Report: Red Earth Farm

Monday, August 04, 2008

How can it be August already? The summer is flying by and all I have to show for it are two cups of frozen shredded zucchini. Half a CSA share does not provide enough food for us to preserve for the winter, but with the new baby it’s a good thing we didn’t go for a full share since most of it would have ended up in the compost bin anyway. I’m a bit behind since we were out of the city most of last week, so here’s last week’s share:

3 medium eggplants, 3 red onions, a big bunch of carrots, a bunch of swiss chard, a pint of mixed tomatoes, a big bag of green beans and cheddar cheese and yogurt from the buying club.

This week’s unphotographed share included a quart of Yukon Gold potatoes, close to a pound of green beans, a 1/2 pint of mixed grape and cherry tomatoes, a 1.5 lb bag of red potatoes, 2 summer squash and 3 pattypan squash, 3 huge green peppers and a quart each of raspberry and peach yogurt.
