I can imagine that sometimes it's not so fun to pick your own things in the field, but it must be very inspiring overall to actually see your food growing!Charlotte au Chocolathttp://charlotteauchocolat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653559958496484678.post-51089730551851396872011-05-24T18:46:39.305-04:002011-05-24T18:46:39.305-04:00Yes it is awesome!

When you get there, there is a farm stand where they have some produce (as an example, today they had spinach, arugula, radishes, and lettuce). They have signs telling you how much you can take based on whether you have a family-size share or individual share (so 2 bunches of radishes for a family share, 1 for an individual share). Then they have pick-your-own fields, and they give you a quantity (today we got 2 quarts of strawberries for our family share). Today we were there for about an hour, but mid-summer and early fall when there is a LOT of produce in season, we are sometimes there for 2-3 hours. It's fun but if you have anywhere to be, sometimes it's not that great to pick your own. Overall I really like it though!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021120415676652408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653559958496484678.post-91206224854002531762011-05-24T18:16:33.924-04:002011-05-24T18:16:33.924-04:00So the way your CSA works is that you go and actua...So the way your CSA works is that you go and actually pick things up at the farm- as opposed to receiving it in a box? how cool is that?! do you pick things yourself in the fields, or are they waiting for you at a stand? how far of a drive is it? sounds awesome! i'm jealous ;)Charlotte au Chocolathttp://charlotteauchocolat.com/noreply@blogger.com
