Fertile Crescent Farm

By: Melissa Owens (Jan 13, 2010)
We joined the Fertile Crescent Farm CSA for the first time last summer- our first experience with a CSA. My 5-year-old checked the calendar each day to see how many days were left until it was time to go to 'the market'. Nothing could keep him away from picking up 'his' shares each week, which was the most exciting event for him each week all summer long. He was even worried when we went on vacation and missed a week's share. Our friends and family find it hard to believe that a 5-year-old's favorite foods could actually be 'baby tomatoes' and kale. He first tried kale the week before his last flag football game of the season and pulled his first-ever flag from the opposing team. He was certain that kale did the trick and it's been his favorite 'super food' ever since. He even received his own special bunch of kale on weeks when kale wasn't part of that week's CSA harvest. What do we love most about Fertile Crescent Farm?? The produce is varied, fresh and free of all of the junk that is found in most supermarket produce. I am happy to be able to rely on and trust that we are eating delicious, healthy, clean food. We love knowing who grows our food, where it's grown and when it's harvested. We defintely became spoiled by the foods we took home each week. We are counting the weeks until the season is here again and we're able to take our weekly trips to find what yummy things we get to take home! Hurry up Summer!!!!!!!
