Lancaster Farm Fresh: Week 5

Ok, here we go, here we go!  The blitz is here!  I'm on a roll!  Week 5 pictures, and go!

Oh, and due to my change in schedule, my friend, L., has stepped up to the plate and taken on the duty of CSA pick-up and picture-taking solo.  Let's give her a hand, she is superly duperly awesome and you're gonna love her pictures.

1 Pint Strawberries from Hillside Organic Acres

1 Bunch Chioggia (Candy Stripe) Beets from Millwood Springs Organics

Note: Mint and rhubarb were swapped out for more broccoli and portobello mushroom caps.  L. and I usually opt to swap out herbs, since the bunches are so huge and we're not much for drying them. 

Lancaster Farm Fresh: Week 4

I'm sorry, guys.  I really really suck.  I know I said I was going to blitz you, and then I didn't.  It was wrong of me.  I started a new job recently, and I'm still getting used to the new schedule, learning how to prioritize my time.  Anyway, don't let me bore you with details about how disorganized I am.  You're not here for that.  You're here for the vegetables, and I wouldn't want to disappoint.

Lest you think this is a picture of a full share, do not be fooled!  This is in fact half of a full share, which just makes it incredible how much vegetation we're getting from Lancaster.  I have been more than pleased with what we've been getting.  Split between two people, this is working out to be less than $14 each a week.  That's a steal, given that we're getting all organic vegetables.  Read on to see what exactly we received in our share in week 4.

Lancaster Farm Fresh: Week 3

I know, I know.  I took such a terribly long hiatus, without even telling you.  I'm so sorry.  My schedule changed some in these past few weeks, and it's taken me a while to catch up with everything.  Hopefully, I should be able to update this blog on a regular basis, but for now, bear with me as I'm about to blitz you with 3 weeks' worth of updates.

 Alright, let's not waste any time, and get this show on the road. Here's week 3's share list:
