This is the diary of our 2015 CSA share. The cost of our full share is $545 for 22 weeks, from June through October, and works out to $24.75 per week. Western New York weather is such that June is lightest CSA month. September and October will be more than abundant! The first few weeks are light, and very, very leafy. As we move to the fall, the CSA becomes more abundant, and the variety increases greatly.
We also purchased a Fruit Share this year for $180, lasting 18 weeks which works out to $10 per week. The local fruit included in the fruit share starts with cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines, blueberries, and moves into pears, raspberries and of course apples! This portion of the share begins in July.
It was a beautiful day yesterday, sunny, 75 and light wind… which meant no parking at the CSA. People head into the u-pick for an hour and the parking does not clear out. {sigh}
Hubby went with me and picked out the veggies. He’s planning on making loaded potato soup of some sort (recipe to come), and chili. I still have tomatoes to freeze from last week.
And once again, the raspberries did not make it until the next day. OMG were they ever good!!
