My favorite thing about the CSA (which some people will argue as a strike) is that you get produce you wouldn't otherwise buy. For example, my family hates beets. We would never buy beets, and I have yet to find a recipe that works for us for beets. However, I have plenty of friends willing to take them off my hands. For other items I wouldn't typically buy, I've had a lot of fun finding creative ways to serve them. Swiss chard quiche, homemade pesto (from all the basil!), winter savory marinade, grilled romaine, and kale smoothies (yes, kale) top our growing list of family favorites!!
