I'm a week late (and forgot to take a picture of this week's share) but I wanted to post about our CSA share at Garden of Eve Organic Farm out on the North Fork.
From left to right (more or less): rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries, garlic scapes, eggs, Russian kale, mesclun, leeks, Swiss chard, red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce.
Lots of salads this time of year, but Nena also made some killer shortcakes to accompany some of the strawberries we got this week. Amazing how different locally grown strawberries are from the hard, flavorless berries at the grocery store, isn't it?
That is great, I love the idea of the CSA.
Do you get a set amount of each product each week, or is it more of an honor system thing?

Ew, are they throwing in Vera Bradley bags, too?!
Not really down with the pink egg container though...

We've been doing a bunch of stuff with the produce: pasta with kale, garlic scapes and white beans....tons of salads...Nena made shortcakes for strawberry shortcake the other night...tonight I'm making a frittata with leeks and spinach.
Pretty soon we'll be into beet and zucchini season...so we'll have a new array of foods!
