CSA Report: Blooming Glen Farm

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

We’d been camping for the last couple weeks, and came home to an empty pantry and refrigerator on Sunday night, so I was more than happy to do the Blooming Glen pick up on Tuesday. 

When the season is right, I eat a fresh, crispy salad at least once a day.  As one can imagine, salad isn’t much of a camp food and so I’ve been going without the last two weeks.  Perhaps absence really does make the heart grow fonder because the first thing I did when I got home from the farm (after taking a photo, of course) was to make a big salad using lettuce, Swiss chard, Summer squash, cucumber, purple dragon and green string beans and the delightfully citrus-y edible marigolds.  My goodness… it was heaven in a bowl!
