Hey! Hey! CSA!

I joined the Clemson CSA this summer. That stands for "community supported agriculture". For $300, I get a weekly pick up of fresh, organic fruits and vegtables for 15 weeks. Actually, I spilt this share with my neighbor, so it is only $150, but spliting it works out well with traveling, etc. This was our pick up last Wednesday.

The pick up is at the same time as the farmers market: Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30pm. It is located at the "barn with the inverted roof". The purpose of this roof is to collect rain water. Pretty smart, eh?

This is what is offered at the farmers market:

I thought this would be a fun thing to take the kids to. It's not. The highlight for James is getting a little cup of water.

Andy is pretty cranky all the time. He has no highlight.

Here is this weeks haul in a bag:

Here is the haul all laid out. It was a good week!

Look at all that corn. Soon. Soon!
