Our Final CSA Friday
This is it. The last CSA share of the season. It’s a little bittersweet for me. On one hand, I’m going to miss having it to look forward to every week. On the other, I didn’t use as much of the produce as I’d hoped to and wound up giving away or throwing away more than I would have liked. But I got to expand my horizons, and try some new recipes, and as a whole I’ve really enjoyed it.
I definitely would recommend Great Country Farms if you’re interested in doing a CSA share in Northern Virginia next year.
Our final haul:
We have a ton of squash we’ve been collecting over the past few weeks, and I put them in a pretty wooden bowl we were given as a wedding present. Makes a really festive table decoration, don’t you think?
This was my second year with a CSA and I was MUCH smarter about it! I froze tons of green beans and green peppers, made salsas and spaghetti sauces and now we’re eating hard squash all the time. I just made this pasta sauce with a butternut squash last week. It was delish! http://www.marthastewart.com/341439/butternut-squash-pasta-sauce
Hi Amy!
Thanks for your comment on my blog–good luck in the sweepstakes!
I’ve always wanted to join a CSA–I love fresh veggies!
I have an almost identical display of squashes in a almost identically shaped basket on my kitchen table.
