our first CSA picnic

CSA: Community Supported Agriculture

this spring we signed up for a farm share from the Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-Operative.

we paid a lump sum to the farmers back in April to receive weekly shares of whatever is most abundant and ready to eat from the fields. the shares have been amazingly delicious and have spawned extra levels of creativity in the kitchen!

we enjoyed our first picnic at Hillside Organics farm on Saturday to meet one of our growers and harvest some yukon gold potatoes from the earth via mule cart.

the mule cart (sans mules)

searching for potatoes was better than any easter egg hunt for the kiddies!

straight from the earth

bargain kitties--and there was an "honor code" box for payment
no kitties purchased, to jon's dismay...

join a csa in your community to enjoy the most fresh and tasty produce while supporting your local economy!
