Things are getting less vague and more REAL ... just got a list of what will be in my first box! In addition to decorative Indian corn and pumpkins ...
- "Radishes, either red, round or long and white
- Spinach - 1 pound
- Cranberries - 2 pounds (these are fresh)
- Brussels Sprouts - straight from the field, supposedly better tasting because they have been frosted. They will be still on the stem, you have to cut them off yourself.
- Carrots
- Bok choi
- Broccoli or Chinese cabbage
- Kohlrabi or turnip
- Winter squash
- Salad mix - 16 ounces. This should be some salad.....we anticipate having 9 ingredients in it. One challenge is that some of the leaves in the salad are longer than we would like. Interesting things going on in the greenhouse."
Also, I can get kale, collards, mustard and cilantro if I wish. The farmer is clear that this is the first Winter CSA offered in this area, and exactly what will be going on crop-wise and weather-wise in the fields is an unknown. So we are all on this wild culinary ride together.
I love the changeable and adaptive nature of this adventure! We'll see if this exuberance lasts through April ... !!!
