Desert Roots Farm

When I first joined Desert Roots CSA, I had no idea what to expect. Every week I received a bag of produce, some of which I was familiar with, some of which I had never heard of. At first I was intimidated by bags of mizuna and arugula, but now I eat all their offerings either raw, roasted, grilled, or made into soups. I am now eating a lot more "green" stuff than I ever have before! I have also been inspired to garden in this desert region, seeing what Kelly has been able to accomplish. Korin delivers my produce every week with a smile, a recipe, and news of what is going on with the farm. I have never felt so connected to my food in the past. Learning how to eat "locally" has been a truly wonderful experience, and I challenge myself to find new ways to use the produce from my weekly bag of veggies and fruit. I have learned to clean and "prepare" a lot of the produce right away so that my family is more comfortable finding "food" in the refrigerator! They, too, are learning to eat things they have never tried before! Kudos to Kelly and her crew!
