Farmer John CSA

My husband and I were truly impressed with the variety, quantity, and most importantly, the quality of fresh produce that came from Gail and John's farm this year. As a previous reviewer noted, I learned about veggies I never heard of and learned how to cook them. We experienced some of the most exciting soups this fall including butternut squash, cauliflower blue cheese, and potato leak. Gail's mom, another friendly face at the farm, told me to check out the potato soup, and she was right: it was wonderful! We found this and many other great recipes in a book John recommended called From Asparagus to Zucchini. I credit this CSA experience with my husband actually calling me a cook. My husband's favorites were the squash and brussel sprouts, and mine were the arugula and sweet potatoes. Both of us wowed our family and friends with popcorn right from the cob. My 14-month old son ate lots of veggies including the carrots, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach and on and on. Yes, we saved lots of money going the CSA route with Palvochak's, but even more valuable to us was the health benefit--you just can't beat the full-flavored, nutrient-rich, local produce we enjoyed so much this year. We are looking forward to many fall and winter harvests ahead. Thanks John and Gail for all your hard work!
