Tikvat Israel CSA

I subscribed to Tikvat Israel's CSA last spring, summer, and fall. I loved the variety and quality of the fruits and vegetables. I used the CSA's weekly newsletter to get tips and recipes for cooking some of the vegetables I'd never tried before (such as kohlrabi, which I now love!). I had to do a lot more cooking than I usually do to use up each week's share, but I enjoyed trying new recipes and found several techniques that I could use for different veggies and that were pretty easy. The pick up was very convenient (and reliable--someone was always there when they were supposed to be).

Although my husband and I have two teenaged daughters, one wasn't home for most of the CSA season and the other doesn't eat most vegetables. We were able to use up our whole share every week, although this often required freezing some of the things we made. But that's not a bad thing because it allows us to enjoy our CSA produce all year long.
