CSA Day

We joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) last year as part of our homeschooling group. We receive a box of produce each week for $20. We usually get lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, radishes, potatoes, etc. The selection changes seasonally.

Well, the family that owns the farm invited everyone in the CSA program to visit the farm and see where our veggies come from. :-)

Radishes.

Chopping up our lunch.



We got tofu, too. :-) Our veggies and tofu (along with some oil and garlic salt) were wrapped in foil and put on the grill. In the meantime, we made a salad and had our first course. Our veggies turned out scrumptious. Who knew how good cooked radishes were? Also, they had grilled some Maui onions (we will get those in our boxes in a couple of weeks!) and some beets. Wow, beets! I had to have a few of those. :-)




Rachel's first salad. Well, she used to eat lettuce when she was little and she and George pretended they were catepillars. :-)



The strawberry patch which included Maui onions.

Have a bite!
