february csa share


This morning we picked up our February box of CSA vegetables from Luna Bleu Farm. It's our fourth month of organic winter vegetables, and we will get monthly boxes of produce through May. I am really happy that the cabbage is slowing down (only two red cabbages this month)...the napa cabbage was getting a little out of control...I think we still have a head of it in the refrigerator from our December box, not to mention most of what we got in January! The sprouts were a nice touch this month...we got both alfalfa sprouts and mung bean sprouts. I imagine that as the weather continues to get nicer we'll get more little treats like that...in fact, we might start some spinach and greens in the greenhouse at Fat Rooster next Thursday, so local greens are on their way.

These were our boxes from previous months. January...

December...

and November...


It has been amazing to get all this wonderful local produce every month, and I would definitely do a winter CSA with Luna Bleu again. Aside from the napa cabbage, we have managed to keep up with eating our monthly vegetables...although I could use some suggestions for what to do with rutabaga!

Our CSA farmers are going to try to do a winter share next year, I can't wait. Although then I'll have to figure out what to do with rutabagas too - no clue!

I made your raw carrot/beet salad on Sunday, it was so good!
