CSA box

I purchased my first ever CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box from the great Animal Farm. A CSA is a way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. I would not do a CSA with a farm I have no prior knowledge of. They are good farmers, certified organic, and I spent a night at the farm once.

I have been wanting to try a CSA program but I could not for these reasons:

• Afraid that the food would be too much for just me (no one in my circle eats or cooks like me)
• Get stuck with vegetables/fruits that I cannot figure out how to cook to my liking or just do not like at all
• Constrained to a fixed number of weeks, especially if I do not like certain vegetables/fruits that is in season at the present time

Why did I go for this CSA? Well, the price was reasonable and I was permitted to pick up a box every other week instead of once a week. We'll see how it goes.

Bell peppers, chinese egglants, sugarbaby watermelon, basil, oyster & mushrooms (brown bag), peppers (special type - name unknown), cucumbers

 

I was not sure about the volume of the box but obviously it was not enough. Purchased other things between Urban Harvest Farmers Market and the Farmers Market in Garden Oaks area.

 

Whole chicken, chuck roast beef, ground beef, roselle, okra, sweet potatoes, 2 dozen eggs, sugar scrub bar soap
