LEGS Member Diary for Week #6
Posted on June 5, 2013 by ryan la chica
This is our 5th year with the delicious and lovely Southside CSA- we are a 2 person (soon to be 3) operation and get the Full Monty Deluxe. Now that I am pregnant, I am more grateful than ever to have access to amazing quality eggs, fruit and produce from a such a reliable source. This week we got a dozen huge, healthy eggs and a big handful of fresh asparagus- we are in to asparagus and have had no problem eating it for weeks- they are so great in scrambled eggs, frittatas, salads and soups.

BEAR Member Diary for Week #2

Greig Farm Share Week #2
First CSA pick-up:
My husband and I have talked a lot about joining a CSA, but this is the first time we’ve actually done it. Pick-up was too far away, or on the wrong days, or we waited too long to sign up until everything was sold out. Last year I watched one of my co-workers share some of her Southside CSA bounty with us and listened to her talk about it and asked lots of questions. And then we moved to Brooklyn! So here we are on our first pick-up day, excited, but not quite sure what’s in store. We have half shares and are on the “B” schedule. I had heard that the asparagus week one was rather measly, so I had prepared myself to not expect too much. Big surprise! 3 pounds of asparagus! Yay! I know the yields are unpredictable and that’s part of how a CSA works, but I was still very glad to see that gigantic asparagus harvest. We also got a dozen eggs from Feather Ridge.

Member Diaries (finally) Start
Posted on June 5, 2013 by ryan la chica
Quick little apology from the organizers. One of the volunteer shifts in the Community area is writing a blog post about the week’s share. It is a way to build up our blog with different voices, cooking tips, csa strategies, and pictures. It really helps keep the blog loaded with lots of good information. I (ryan) have to admit that i have been overwhelmed with the accounting, selling, and organizing the start of the CSA this year that i haven’t found the time to post the diaries sent in during the asparagus season. Sorry for being a slacker…
And without further adieu, let the Member Diaries for the 2013 Season commence…
