Introduction

In the dead of winter we read about CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture) and thought that they were a great Idea.

Ours is Grant Farms in Wellington. We made the decision to join with a little prompt from our Buy Local Book (50$ discount) that we got at the Farmers Market (more about that within.) In a nutshell, we get a weekly delivery of fresh produce starting in mid June and lasts until the season is finished (close to 26 weeks)

We bought a small share since it's just the two of us, figuring that it would be no problem dealing with the amount. And, so far it hasn't been (although we've been eating lettuce for just about every day for every meal since we started)

26 Weeks of CSA is our attempt to document and enjoy the commitment we've made to using everything we get each week. It certainly will be a challenge to use it all in interesting ways over the course but we're off to a good start.

So far so GREAT I would say; we're at week 4 as we start this Blog. There will be some catching up to do and I'm pretty sure we're having a salad tonite to boot.
