Meeshka Member Diary

We split a Half Monty Deluxe between three households. Two of us have been part of the  Southside CSA, so we generally know that once the blueberries start, you are in blueberry heaven for a few weeks, so we use a quick recipe to make some easy breakfast muffins.

Sebastian Share Member Diary Week #20

I brought in my 2.5 y/o sous chef to help me create some magic in the kitchen today. Our kitchen took a beating but I think the end result was well worth the effort. I included a photo journal of what we were able to achieve. Outer circle going clockwise from the top left: DicedContinue reading “Sebastian Share Member Diary Week #20”

Member Diary #7 – Jen Ward

The best part of joining Southside CSA (I am a second year) was how it inspired me to cook again. I cooked a ton last summer. It’s so thrilling to come up with creative ways to use the share. My stacks of recipes and cookbooks are finally put to the test.

[even more] stuffed inspiration plus berry fruity drinks

Last night was one of the best and most rewarding meals I’ve ever made. Knowing that 50% of my ingredients came from a local farm made me so happy and this farm share has changed my life! 🙂 I was never much of a cooker so this is a huge step for me!

Member Diary Week # 5 – Jecca & Jay

Week 5: Jecca Barry & Jay Dunn A bit about my eating habits — I’m a vegetarian with strong vegan tendencies. My exeption to the vegan rule is the eggs from the CSA. The way I see it…if the chickens have names, they’re probably pretty happy…so the eggs are ‘happy eggs’.
