CSA Report:  Blooming Glen Farm

Tuesday, June 03, 2008

(Click photo to read notes at flick’r regarding names/quantities of share.)

While out in the field picking our allocated two quarts of strawberries, I realized that my son would have easily eaten his weight in the berries had no one been watching.  I had to explain to him how the farmers calculate the quantities-per-member, and that if we took more than our share, someone could be out of luck.  In other words, two quarts is two quarts, not two quarts plus whatever you can shove into your mouth while you’re out on the field.  Of course, this was after he had already gone on a mission to find the biggest strawberries in the lot and devoured several of them.  He had strawberry juice on his shirt, his mouth, his fingers… absolutely shameless.

In any case, we’re fully embracing the CSA season over here—hope you all are, too!
