Open Acres CSA

I had never joined a CSA, I was always wary after hearing stories of people getting mountains of squash and not enough variety from their CSA. But I decided to take a chance with a half-share with Open Acres this summer because I liked the idea of supporting a local farmer.

And then I went to my first pick-up. I was stunned by the quality and variety of vegi's they offered. Everything was beautifully presented, crazy delicious, and my shares always seemed to have just the right amount of the different items. (Although there were times when I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the monster kohlrabi! But somehow it always worked out.)

Getting to know the adorable farmers, Nate and Heather, has been a wonderful bonus. I always look forward to seeing their smiling faces and sharing the love of good food with friends and neighbors at the saturday morning pick-ups. I've already put my deposit down for a FULL share for next year and I can hardly wait for the season to start!
