Each week we picked up recipes to go with the vegies and I started paying attention and picking up the few remaining ingredients. The next thing I knew I was pulling out scrumptious casseroles from the oven and feasting like a queen in my own kitchen. Soon I started experimenting, just throwing together whatever I had and making up new dishes of my own. Joining the CSA is about 30 percent cheaper than store-bought organic vegetables, but Diane tells us that is only one of the reasons to sign up. Moreover, people want fresh, organically gown vegetables.
Fresh produce tastes better and is more nutritious.
There is nothing quite like eating food that is fresh picked that day. The flavor is sharp, present, full bodied. It explodes on the taste buds, awakens the cells of the body. The nutritional value cannot be compared. Every day food sits on the shelf, rides in the trucks, it is losing its value.
