I am fortunate enough to live mere blocks from a local CSA farm (they hung on to a few acres of farmland when their family sold most of the area for a housing development) and we’re getting into good harvest season. Today’s haul: radishes, carrots, turnips, basil, cherry tomatoes, kale, edible flowers, onions, lettuce, oyster & lion’s mane mushrooms. Veggies for dinner tonight! (and yes, if you can find me, you’re invited).

If you have a CSA in your area, I urge you to check out the cost of membership. If you can afford it, it’s usually a win both for small farmers and for the quality of your diet.
