This year we may get an extra CSA share to test the idea of freezing/canning some of the veggies to get us through the winter. Their vegetables taste so much better than what is available in the grocery stores that we are curious to see if we can preserve some of the taste by freezing (and we'd be eating locally grown foods). We got this idea when we read Barbara Kingsolver's book, but we hadn't considered doing this with a CSA share until now.
I'll be interested to see what Allan thinks of this idea. He and Maura are our "go to" experts on food. We've enjoyed learning from them - we are MUCH more knowledgeable thanks to what they've taught us. We like to think that we use our newfound knowledge to make ourselves healthier AND to be better stewards of our planet.
We are still enjoying some of the meat that Allan and Maura raised: beef/veal and pork. It bothers me on occasion that we are eating meat again, but I do have to admit that it is delicious. I balance my guilty (former veg/vegan) conscience with my delight that Allan and Maura raise heritage animals in a healthy, pesticide and hormone-free environment..... and, as I noted, the food is delicious!
