The Gathering Together Farm crew delivers them to a wonderful local bakery, The Green Salmon Café, and then we all show up Saturday morning to get our box (we actually repack the veggies to take them home--I happened to find this old basket in our garage which I thought was perfect!). We all = whoever signed up for the food share program--there was a minimum specified of 10 people for our tiny town.
This is what we got this week:
Contents: 1.5 lb Colorado Rose Potatoes, Baby Onions, Spinach, Dill, Mustard Greens Bunch, Carrots, White Turnips, Red Leaf Lettuce, Green Garlic, 1 Cucumber. Yummmmmmm! Gonna have a greens smorgasbord for sure, and not sure what else--roasted veggies, perhaps, with fresh rosemary from the garden?
Hope you guys find some great foods at your local Farmer's Market this weekend! Bon appétit... =)
fifty miles is fine if you don't have to drive it...
ReplyDeleteyou are lucky they deliver...the most local "market" I have is where they grow and sell strawberries - 1 mile
the rest (Farmer's Market, healthy, local stuff is in and in-front of Whole Foods in Roseville, 13 miles from me...
I am somewhat reluctant to go there just for veggies...I could do the whole grocery load at Whole Foods but that would empty my wallet significantly there ... :-S
so I usually go to Raley's, much closer, smaller carbon imprint :-))
What a neat idea!!! Totally love that! And your basket looks yummy! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the whole idea and the photos make me want to eat veggies - that in itself is a miracle!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great!!! We have something like that in France too. I love it! :) Bisous !!!
