I’ve recently signed us up for a CSA box every three weeks (I know, it’s not often enough!) through Farm Fresh To You. The first week we got the regular small box which had a lot of great stuff in it, but sadly I’m not much of a cook and I worried that some things (e.g. collard greens) might go at least partially unused.
So we switched to the small Fast Fruit & Veg box which is great for healthy snacking and for any of you brave raw foodies. Anyway, I can’t recommend it highly enough. I was raised on an American diet of canned chili, pizza, and burritos so having really great fresh produce is eye-opening. I literally went on and on to anyone who would listen about how good the carrots were (yep, they got eaten straight off the bat).
People ask why I don’t just go to the farmers market? Well, I could and still plan to in the summer, but… when I go, I’m easily overwhelmed by all the people and the lines and not knowing which stand has the good stuff, etc… maybe I’m alone in this, but I like having the best of the season brought to my door in a nice recyclable box. It’s like Christmas.
*fyi, the photo above is from our trip to England and not of what was in our FFTY box – although it’s pretty close (minus the yummy looking jam).
