CSA: Loris Market Basket

This will be our fourth year doing CSA at Lori's Market Basket! We have doubled membership (and then some), and we look forward to the 2017 season, with new ideas in the works.

We offer a customized type CSA. Each week a general list of contents is made and reviewed against your likes and dislikes. We encourage our customers to try new things, but if you already know you loathe kale, you can opt to not receive it in your weekly boxes.

Each week great care is taken to ensure that each box is worth AT LEAST your weekly value. We have elected to, during non peak seasons, include out of state, but still freshly grown produce. This is to your benefit, as with other CSA programs you run the risk of being shorted in the event of bad weather, or other loss of crops. We run a stand open seven days a week in Holley, from June to November, and therefore always have a full line fresh produce in rotation.

Also included each week are two recipes that will correspond to the contents of your box. (One will include fruit, and the other vegetables.) We encourage our CSA participants, and customers in general, to share their favorite recipes so that we may share them in our boxes each week.

We understand that things may come up throughout the season, an we are here to work with you! Need your box a different day of the week? Let us know prior to your scheduled pickup so we can make sure your contents are fresh! Have a special event coming up? Need something specific included in your box that week? Let us know! We welcome comments and concerns.

Here is one example of a typical weekly box. This particular list comes from August 30th, 2014. That week the recipes given were for Heirloom Tomato Salad with Mozzarella and Watermelon Bellini. The contents were as follows. Full Share: Heirloom Tomatoes, Key Largo Peppers, Cubanella Peppers, Super Sweet "Yummy" Peppers, Corn, Cabbage, Carrots, Kohlrabi, Green and Red Leaf Lettuce, Peaches, Watermelon, Ginger Gold and Paula Red Apples. Half Share: Heirloom Tomatoes, Key Largo Peppers, Cubanella Peppers, Super Sweet "Yummy" Peppers, Corn, Cabbage, Peaches, and Watermelon.
