Landisdale Farm CSA, week 18

Saturday, October 11, 2008

This week’s share from Landisdale Farm contained:

    12 small turnips
    7 small pears
    2 giant heads of lettuce
    1 bag of spinach
    Not quite a dozen sweet potatoes
    2 small heads of broccoli
    3 medium onions

I’m more than a little dismayed to see the return of the lettuce.  My guess is that we are doomed to have lettuce hogging up our share until the end of the CSA season.

Speaking of the end of the season, my husband and I have been discussing our options for which CSA to go with next year.  Craig doesn’t like a Saturday pickup, and I would rather not schlep a zillion pounds of produce on my back on the train ride home for a mid-week pick up at Reading Terminal like I did last year.  I’d love to find a CSA pick up at Headhouse Square market on Sundays (or some other CSA Sunday pickup).  I’ve heard that Old Earth Farm normally has a CSA pick up at Headhouse, but their CSA program was canceled for 2008.  Has anyone heard if they plan to be back in 2009, or of any other CSA pickups on Sundays that are either in Philadelphia or Delaware County?
