Blue potatoes, arugula, spinach, scallions, green garlic, green leaf lettuce, kohlrabi, radishes, and rosemary. Those were the beautiful veggies that greeted me as I opened this year's first CSA (community supported agriculture) box with Driftless Organics. Oh! And this year, we added a share of sunflower oil.
Last year, I longed for our first box. I couldn't wait to have produce placed in front of me challenging me to make this feed my family for the week. I was tired of coming up with all the plans and recipes. I love that what is locally in-season determines what we eat and inspires every meal. However, this year I had simply forgotten how thrilled I would be when I would open the box. I've been too overwhelmed with daily life that my CSA box was a pure afterthought.
But...this box made my day, my week....maybe my spring. I immediately chopped up the rosemary and spread it over the roasted eggplant and zucchini that just came out of the oven. I chopped up a few radishes to add to the evening's salad, and I watched Finn eat his first radish and then ask for more.
Thanks Driftless Organics! I'm already longing for what will greet me next Thursday evening.
