South Central Farmers' Cooperative

By: KatieJ (Mar 27, 2011)
I discovered SCFC a couple of months ago in a quest to -1. eat more organically and healthier -2. support local farmers and industry wherever possible

The Bakersfield farm is about 10 minutes from my house and it is so convenient that I can go there on Saturday anytime between 2.30pm and 4pm and pick-up my veges. One of the most amazing things is seeing the farmers go out to the field and pick the veges for you. It doesn't get any fresher than that!

The variety has been great too. I have had beets, turnips, radishes, kale, Swiss chard, rainbow chard, Russian red chard (had to google that one!), arugula, many types of lettuce, spinach, parsley, collard greens, cilantro and more. And all that has been within the last 5 weeks. It's so much fun going out there to see what's in this weeks box.

I like that you can pay what you believe is right for you too. I think the prices are $15, $20, $25 or $40 whatever you want to donate.

This has been life changing for me because I was lucky if I got in one serving of veges a day. Now I can't wait to eat these delicious veges by the plateful and invent new recipes every week!
