winter CSA

I completely forgot to post about our first Winter CSA pickup! We bought a full share from Buckwheat Blossom Farm in Wiscasset. It is what I expected a CSA to be when we got our summer CSA. You go to the farm, there are tables set up, and each table has veg on it with the amount you are supposed to take for either a full or partial share. The pick-up time was between 3:30 and 6:30pm and boy am I glad I got there at 3:45! The place was packed, and I wanted to be able to pick the best of each (all of it looked amazing though). They also had a little outside store which sold breads (I picked up a roasted garlic focaccia), soap, milk, eggs, cookies. All kinds of good stuff. We pick up every other week through March. So without further ado, here is our first week's share:

2 bunches of carrots
10 red onions
5 heads of garlic
6 delicata squash
1 lb of kale (red and green)
2 leeks

Overall I was very impressed, and am very excited that I will have fresh produce all winter. On top of the winter CSA, I just found out recently that my town is continuing their farmers' market through the winter. Eating local is really going to be easy this winter. Plus, today, all of our pork is supposed to be dropped off (minus the smoked stuff which we will get in a few weeks). Exciting times!
