Community sponsored agriculture: have you heard of it? I am very excited about it right now. Now, I am not as hard core as some people I know, but I do like the idea of locally produced food, and of at least leaning towards eating more organic. So this seemed perfect.
Once a week, I order a 25 dollar box of produce from a local farm. And they exist, even here in the L.A. area... who'd have guessed? So anyway, I get a huge box of seasonal, freshly picked, ripe or ready produce that I can enjoy. And before you ask, no, I don't get to pick what I get, and yes, sometimes even I get things that I have to look up, but that is part of the fun.
I like experimenting with new ingredients. Now how does this work with meal planning? Well, I just don't buy many vegetables from the grocery store anymore. And it is nice!
Convenient pickup, new ingredients, locally grown produce, organically grown produce for cheaper, and a refrigerator FULL of healthy veggies that I feel obligated to incorporate into my meals-- way too many reasons to participate in such a wonderful program.
