It's CSA day!

Today I went to pick up our first CSA. We have chosen to join Wayward Seed Farms' program, and it has been a terrific experience for us so far.

We signed up back in February, and agreed to have monthly payments withdrawn over a period of months. In exchange, we get two "shares" (I don't know why I put it in quotes, that is actually what they are called...but it's a vocabulary word of sorts too) each week of whatever the farm is producing.

Here's week 1:

Radishes, peas, chard, sage. In quantitiy.

We also got some recpies, and a very (very) cute tote bag:

The idea is that we'll bring the tote bag every week, thus elminating one-time use shopping bags.

Wayward Seed lets you choose your pick up spot from a variety of places across town. We chose to get ours every Saturday morning from the Clintonville Farmers Market. It was my first time visiting this market as well, and I was impressed! Lots of cheese and meat, and some really wonderful looking produce. Best of all, it's right up the street from our new apartment!

And yes, we move to the new place on Tuesday. I am currently still sticking to my plan of burying my head in the sand about that. Hopefully sometime in the next few hours I'll decide to reality-check myself and start packing.
