Carrots and Honey and More

I just have to gush about how delicious the Wildflower Honey is that I got through this CSA!

And my rainbow carrots are almost gone - they make perfect workday snacks!

Also, I ordered this week's produce:
  • 4 tangerines
  • 3 avocados
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 1 bunch red beets
  • 3-4 yellow onions
  • 3-4 jumbo italian garlic
PLUS:
  • Sage ($3.50 extra)
  • Heirloom Kokuho Rose Brown Rice ($4.50 extra for 1.5 lb. bag)
I am LOVING this CSA process.....!!!!!!

Week One Submission

A very friendly email from Laura about this week's produce. And I've officially submitted my first week's order for pick-up on Thursday!

I will receive:
1 bunch of spinach
1 bunch of rainbow carrots
1.5 lbs. of Yukon potatoes
1 delicata squash
4 Braeburn apples
4 honey tangerines

And I threw in some wildflower honey for an additional $9.50 because honey lasts forever.

Laura sent out this email at 11am this morning and some items were already sold out: Baby Bok Choy, Heirloom Rose White Rice, Olive Oil, and one of the granola mixes. Yikes!

They also had celery root and I read this great love letter to celery root in Bon Appetit magazine last week. But I thought I'd spend my first week getting some staples, so that I could build on that through the month. Hence, the potatoes.

I plan on getting at least 1 fruit item per week. That should up my fiber and vitamin intake! I'm so excited! Patience is sucky though, I have to wait until Thursday to see/smell/eat the food!
