CSA Weeks 17 & 18... The End!

 Week 17 provided about 15 pounds of:

• Tomatoes
• Pie pumpkins
• Kabocha squash
• Broccoli
• Potatoes
• Apples
• Sweet peppers
• Beets

Week 18 gave us 16.4 pounds of:

• Kale
• Pie pumpkin, spaghetti squash, and kabocha squash
• Pears
• Sweet potatoes
• Navy beans
• Hot peppers

I believe that this brings us to a total of 212.7 pounds of produce in 18 weeks!   It was a good 18 weeks full of a lot of food adventures and a lot of healthy food.  My one regret about this CSA is the plastic bags they package some of the food in.  It was one or two bags a week, and they used them to package lettuce or sometimes things like tomatoes.  I appreciated that they do their best by using biodegradable bags, but it still eats away at my package-free loving soul.   Mind you, I know that not all of their customer have the same passion for plastic as I do, so I understand what they do.

Next year we are considering trying a CSA that runs all year long.  Maybe I'll anticipate growing enough of our own food that we'll only get a half-share!
