Fresh Organic Veges all Summer long
I've been meaning to post this for ages. I think I mentioned last Summer about the Bay City Farmer's Market on Tuesdays and Thursdays where we get most of our veges during the Summer. Well one of the vendors there is a CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) farm and so this time last year we signed up for a box of random veges each week along with garden flowers and organic eggs. The farmer brings the box from the 'Garden Gate Farm' to the market every Thursday and Cooper and I walk down and pick it up. Here are the contents of the box from a couple of weeks ago. The taste of the vegetables reminds me of back in the old West Melton days when Dad had a huge vege garden and Mother had the chooks (chickens) for our fresh eggs. Jac & I used to be mortified whenever people came to visit and Mother would send them home with a couple of cabbages, a bunch of carrots and some broccoli. Such an embarrassing thing to do (until you are an adult and have to do your own shopping!!).
PS: FYI Jeremy the farm only uses heirloom seeds!

Isn't it funny how so many things that embarassed us about our parents growing up actually seem like loving gestures now we are adults?
Sounds like you have a good scheme for getting fresh produce. When I move to Aussie I'm going to miss having little farms just down the road where I can pick fresh produce in season.
