Veggie Heaven

Check out all the awesome veggies we got from our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) today.  And this is just a week’s worth – we will get more every week, all summer! We have joined up with Community Homestead in Osceola, WI for the past three summers and we LOVE being a party of a CSA.   It’s such a great deal – local, organic, fresh produce, picked the day before delivery, and delivered to the Cities about 15 minutes from where we live for pickup.  We paid $535 for a family-sized box, get veggies for about an 18-20 week season (June – sometime in October, depending on how long things keep growing on the farm), and figure it averages out to about $30 a week at the most.  Since we split the box with my sister, that’s $15 a week for a variety of produce we might not usually buy (and some we definitely would) that is cheaper, better for us, and keeps us cooking and eating creatively.  Can you see why we love it?!
