Community Supported Agriculture

Delicious! This is our Friday delivery of organic fruits & vegetables from Heritage Farms in Guyton, Georgia. They were the first certified organic farm in the state - and continue to be leaders in sustainable agriculture. They barter and trade with other local farmers - in addition to growing their own amazing foods - and have created a really cool system for getting local produce. While we aren't particularly attached to organic --- we do care about supporting local farmers and getting food for our family that is healthy and fresh. (For those of you who are shocked by this revelation -- this is one of our new challenges this year!) Tommy Webster really didn't eat vegetables prior to this past few years. He enjoyed a salad - and maybe some asparagus (cooked the way he likes it) every now & then - but was otherwise totally out of the vegetable market. But he has jumped in to our challenge! He loves discovering what is in our box -- and even adding new things that we find when we go to the farm. It turns out that his competitive streak is stronger than his obstinate one! So -- we are eating healthier and working to be strong examples to Olive. This week we didn't have anything too out of the ordinary in our box: some fresh lettuce, cucumbers, avocados, grapefruit, pear, new potatoes, green beans, strawberries, & tomatoes. We had a delicious weekend -- and are looking forward to dinners this week!
