Week 8
What was in it?
This was a great experiment and we cannot wait for our summer share to start up in June. Mallory and I especially enjoyed the trivia question each week at the pickup location. We were only wildly wrong half the time.

- 2 lbs Purple Potatoes - White Rock Specialties Farm
- Purple Potatoes roast up the same as regular potatoes and are just as delicious even if they do raise eye brows with my in laws when I serve them.
- 1 lb Cipollini Onions - Kilt Farm
- More onions to roast! We have a log of onions to roast still.
- 2 heads of Lettuce - Hoffman Farms and Dahlia Campus Farm and Garden
- More salads! I'm honestly loving fresh greens that are local for a daily salad at lunch. Being able to mix up different toppings (seeds or nuts, dried fruit, shredded carrots or cabbage, etc.) and dressings keeps it fresh.
- 1 oz Basil - Dahlia Campus Farm and Garden
- About half of this was chopped up and used as an herb topping for some roast chicken. The rest is reserved for pizza this week.
- .75 lb Tomatoes - Groundwork Denver
- Cherry tomatoes in March that are local!? These were delicious raw.
- 1 jar of Peach Jam - Ela Family Farms
- Hanging out in the pantry with most of the other dry goods we got this year but this will end up on toast, pancakes, sandwiches or as a glaze on meat or veggies at various points throughout the year.
As I said this was a great experience for us and we would highly recommend finding a CSA you can join in your own community. Let us know how it goes if you do!
