apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

My CSA (located on Long Island) started a few weeks ago with pick-your-own argula, asparagus, daffodils and tulips. Two weeks ago, we started our weekly pickups--and my box was filled with spinach, argula, napa cabbage, radishes, turnips (those Asian salad ones that are great raw or cooked), and chives. Next pickup is tomorrow!

My CSA in DC starts tonight! I'll plan on taking a picture and sending it in tomorrow. We'll be getting: garlic curls, endive, Swiss chard, lettuce, spring onions, lettuce mix or savory (herb)!

My CSA in Boston started yesterday. We just got a small box -- two heads of lettuce, spinach, turnips and parsnips. Our farm told us that once the weather here starts getting warmer, our weekly produce won't even FIT in the box! I can't wait to try new recipes each week, especially for the vegetables I've never used in my kitchen before.

ours (Cobble Hill, Bklyn) started last night, and while the shares were small, the vegetables are absolutely gorgeous. spinach, two leafy lettuces, curly pepper cress, tarragon, asparagus and gigantic spring onions. very excited for next week!

Ours (Sunnyside, Queens) starts tomorrow! We're getting radishes, two kinds of arugula, Boston lettuce, spinach, and possibly rhubarb. This is the second year we're doing the CSA, and I am SO EXCITED. After last summer, it was painful to go back to eating supermarket vegetables.

My CSA starts next weekend - I am hoping for strawberries and some leafy greens!

I am so excited! My CSA hasnt started yet (I am also in Boston) I am looking forward to radishes, arugala, berries and SNAP PEAS!

I am also hoping my package is train friendly. I live in Revere and picking up in Brookline :)

can I get more info on how that all works? I'm SO VERY jealous of all of you! We recently moved to Elizabeth, NJ, I don't even know where the closest green market is! PLEASE, email me some info.

Nudik, check this out: http://www.localharvest.org/csa/
You can enter your location and it should give you results based on that...

Nudik- You can read our explanation of CSAs here, just to give you some introductory info. Most CSAs fill up by March, so you may be too late for this season, but definitely check localharvest (link in the post above). There may be farms that let you come pick your own produce- and it can tell you about greenmarkets near you, too.

I'm in Minnesota. My CSA is located in Wisconsin. I received my first delivery the middle of May. I'm also doing a cheese share this year, which is REALLY fun. I've already received the asparagus I was looking forward too and some spinach and a lot of other things. I'm looking forward to berry season.

My CSA here in south Texas started three weeks ago (which was about 3 weeks later than expected). It's been plenty hot but also really dry. We are getting tomatos, cucumbers, and a ridiculous amount of yellow squash. Some basil and some zucchini and that's been about it so far.
