Pete put up his trip to the market yesterday.I believe that Pete has an MBA and left the business world to farm. I could be wrong, though.
I just sent a check for $645 to my veggie CSA. That means more than enough veggies for me between mid-May and mid-November. In a little bit, I will send another check for my fall share, which puts me into mid-December for veggies. My CSA pays a living wage and supports local people who couldn't afford a share.
I do a lot of cooking while my shares are coming in. I have a chest freezer in the basement and tons of freezer containers. Between the end of CSA season and the start of the new season, I am on the cleaning out the freezer diet.
Right about now, I would love a salad, but I have to empty out the freezer.
I do share extras with my dad and the local food pantry. They also get eggs from my reject chickens. (I don't like eggs, but I like chickens. I had lost my chickens. A while back, a neighbor was going to put some up on Craigslist for meat. They weren't supposed to be laying. Nobody told them that. I got four eggs today. Crazy reject chickens!)
Gardens are good.
