Our first year was 2008 and we were hooked. It was our gateway drug to fresh, locally produced vegetables, and when the season ended too soon we knew we had to get more. 2009 was the year we went for the extended Red Fire Farm CSA share, and joyfully added eggs to the mix. When the offer of a deep winter share came to us, we jumped. 2010 will have us with the fruit share, too, because when you can get this variety of produce (and eggs!) fresh from the farmer, why would you do anything else? RFF is a blessing AND a curse, because when the season is up it leaves us jonesing for more, more, more. Why? Because of the variety and freshness. We're OK with sharing the risk with the farmers, and we love the surprises that each week brings. They challenge us to figure out what to do with each thing, and to order our selections according to how delicate/perishable it is. It forces us to think, and you know that is a good way to approach our food. RFF rocks!
