Community Supported Agriculture

Awhile back the Atlanta Journal Constitution ran an article about Emory's efforts towards serving regional and organic food. It stimulated me to look for Community Supported Agriculture programs in the area that were taking new customers and we signed up for the one from Farmer's Fresh Food. We pick up our weekly bag at our local Whole Foods on Wednesdays and every week have 5-7 items, including vegetables, herbs, and on one occasion, eggs. It has introduced us to some new foods like kale, collards, and turnips, which are surprisingly delicious when roasted with onions and garlic in olive oil. We also get lovely fresh lettuce, with so much flavor compared to grocery lettuce.



This week we got this huge cauliflower, whose taste is so sweet and texture delicate. All in all, we love getting our vegetables and fruits this way and it's leading us to new choices which is fun, too.
