CSA Report:  Blooming Glen Farm

Wednesday, August 06, 2008

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

This week brought me, in part, six pounds of tomatoes, four pounds of summer squash and three quarts of string beans.  We’ve already consumed a couple handfuls of beans and a tomato with tonight’s dinner.  And that pint of cherry tomatoes you see is nearly gone.  They proved to be a perfect little snack while my sister and I split, packed up and put away the produce. 

This year’s share is once again proving to be out of this world, both in regard to quantity and variety.  Each week, I get a little giddy when I spread out the loot, and boy was I was happy to receive some validation for this apparent vegetable lust:  at my mom’s wedding over the weekend, a friend mentioned the share photo from last Tuesday, remarking that Blooming Glen’s CSA shares are the largest and one of the prettiest she’s seen.  So glad, to know I’m not the only one who’s noticed!
