Kitchen Herbs Farm “Lettuce/Greens/Herbs Box” Once a Week…: "
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a simple concept that allows consumers to buy local, seasonal and fresh produce directly from farmers. I have been doing it for years without knowing it had a label... :) At any rate, a couple of weeks ago, Gejo of Kitchen Herbs Farm asked if I would like to try a weekly or bi-weekly (every other week) delivery of greens, and of course I agreed. Nothing like getting the freshest stuff available, and I don't mind at all that I have no clue what might show up one week to the next. This is the only REAL way to help small farmers; to eat what is in season rather than whatever a grocery, wholesalers, large importers, farm conglomerates choose to make available. In last Friday's 'basket' or box (this is in its nascent stages and just being tested, hence improvements to delivery containers, packing, etc.) there was a huge bounty of stuff ranging from chard, to tons of lettuce, dill, a single fennel bulb, tomatoes, onions, chicory, sage, basil, curry leaves, sprouts, carrots, peppers, etc. (all in the third photo below)."
