Sign up events are held on Monday nights at our loft. (It’s a little too dark & a little too loud to properly do sign ups at the Woods, our distribution spot.) The events are open house and run from 630pm - 830pm.

Location: Monday night SIGN UP EVENTS are at our loft - 140 Metropolitan Ave (First Floor Buzzer). The address is sometimes hard to see — our building is a brick building in between Nitehawk Theatre & Skinny Dennis with a little garden out in front. Events run 630-8pm

Dates:

  • Mon April 4
  • Mon April 11
  • TUESDAY APRIL 12 @ THE WOODS (48 S4TH) FROM 6-8PM
  • Mon April 18
  • Mon April 25 - THE LAST SIGN UP
  • Mon May 2 - HARVEST SEASON STARTS!!

Purchase & Payment: Members will be asked to decide on the shares they will be purchasing and a payment plan. The blog has lots of information about each of the shares & each of our farmers. In addition, the blog has lots of Member Diaries which are great views into the many ways our members use their shares. Also, our Facebook page has lots of pictures and information about our CSA. Members will be asked to sign up for a payment plan & put down a deposit based on that plan. 2016 Payment Plans

Volunteer: Members will be signing up for their volunteer shifts during sign up. Share groups each complete 2 volunteer shifts. 1 distribution shift & 1 community shift. There are a variety of dates and options, some are even performed at home on your own computer. Info on Volunteer shifts linked here.

Any questions — [email protected]

CSA1

My roommate and I share our CSA which is a half share of veggies, eggs, and orchard. This is our first year doing a CSA and we have been loving it! Here’s how we’ve been using the share this week:

Monday: After picking up the share, we decided to make a quiche with the spinach, corn, red onion (from two weeks ago), and eggs from the share. I just used a quick store bought crust, then I just sauteed up the veggies and added them to the crust. Then poured a mixture of 4 whisked eggs and about a half cup of milk plus salt and pepper on top. We added some shredded cheddar cheese and cilantro on top, then baked. This is a quick and easy meal that also makes great breakfasts or lunches throughout the week. We served the quiche with a salad using the Asian mixed greens and the radishes.
CSA2 CSA3
Tuesday: Today we had vegetarian black bean tacos. I just used some simmered black beans and served the tacos with a salad using an ear of roasted corn, cilantro, red onion from 2 weeks ago, and a non-CSA tomato. On top I used a tomatillo salsa that I had from last week that is the recipe that you guys posted a few weeks ago. It is really yummy!
CSA4 CSA5
Wednesday: Tonight we had Asian rice bowls (although I served it on a plate!), kind of a mix between Japanese and Korean flavors. This meal is also a good way to use up any random vegetables you may have lying around as you can pretty much throw whatever you want in here. The base is steamed Japanese sushi rice, then I added: steamed mustard greens, sliced radishes, and a soft boiled egg all from the share, plus some sliced avocado, kimchi from a jar that I had in the fridge, and chopped scallions. I just made a dressing with miso paste, rice vinegar, and sesame oil and drizzled that on top.
CSA6
Thursday: Dinner was Was leftovers tonight but I did get around to roasting my pumpkin from two weeks ago. Just roasted in the over then pureed in the food processor. I saved it in ziplocks and will keep in the freezer until I’m ready to make a pie!

Friday and Saturday we didn’t cook. Sunday we made a soup with the other bunch of mustard greens and lamb sausage as well as some other random veggies thrown in. We served it with bread and cheese!!

So that’s our menu for the week. We still have some greens and cilantro that we’ll use up this coming week!
