Very exciting news today. After doing a simple Google search, I found a great website for locating a CSA in your area - it's called Local Harvest. Simply do a zip code search and you can find local farms, CSAs and farmer's markets. I found two CSAs that deliver in my area. The first did not have any more shares available...so I put in a call to the second one - The Rogowski Farm. I was fortunate to have Cheryl, the farmer, answer the phone and tell me all about the farm and the CSA. They are a Certified Naturally Grown farm and are in the process of becoming certified organic this year. She told me a bit about the veggies they grow and when she mentioned tomatillos, my mouth watered at the thought of whipping up a batch of tomatillo salsa to go with a margarita come this summer! I'll definitely share that recipe with some pics when the time comes.
We plan to take the kids to the farm to meet Cheryl before we start picking up our veggie baskets in June. In addition to seeing how our food is grown and having a "field" trip for the kids to enjoy, the homemade farm breakfasts are added incentive to make the drive!
Susan,
ReplyDeleteI was a part of The Rogowski Farm CSA last year. The pick up was at Morrow Methodist church in Maplewood. I purchased a 1/2 share, which was plenty for my family of three. We enjoyed lots of different yummy greens, root veggies etc. The most challenging aspect of the CSA was that the weather was a bit problematic for the farm. There was so much rain which affected the variety of vegetables that were available. Those first few months. We had a lot of Kale and Bok Choy. But it was delicious! We are again planning to purchase a 1/2 share this year. Liz
We'll have to coordinate our pick-ups!
