We design our CSA to be a product that we would want to buy ourselves. As a farmer and chef team we make sure to pay special attention to the mix of produce in your bag. We try to create a balance of functionality and flavor with each distribution.
A bag in August might contain the following: 1/2# bag of salad mix, 2 cucumbers, 1 bag of fingerling potatoes, 1 bunch of basil, 2# of Heirloom Tomatoes, 1 bunch of beets, 1 bunch of fresh onions, 1 pint of edamame, 1 bunch of carrots, and 1.5# of summer squash.
This bag has bright and background flavors, crunchy and soft textures, things that require cooking and things that can be eaten raw. There are also a few things you can snack on, while others can be the base of an entire meal. We kind of think of planning your CSA like how we plan a menu - variation and balance.
It should also be noted that we will occasionally put produce from other farms in our bags - such as fruits we don’t grow. Because apples and strawberries are delicious!
