Act Global, Buy Local

This weekend we had a fantastic day at our new CSA farm. We're so excited for this new adventure/ learning experience. Our goal was twofold: to eat more seasonally, locally and organic, and to teach our children where their food comes from. Although the farm wasn't in full bloom yet, we still got to see fields of rhubarb and garlic and parsley and strawberries and...!

I can't wait to learn how to cook with some new veggies. We need to expand our repertoire. Now, we don't eat eggs, but during the farm tour we visited the hens and got to collect a half dozen fresh eggs. Normally, this sight would have bothered me, but these hens really were allowed a huge field to roam in. It was fun, and we collected the eggs to give to my parents. We saw lots of different animals and had fun bringing some of Sofi's books to life (think, Is Your Mama a Llama?).

I can't wait for our first CSA pick-up! I think making a special bag to pick-up our beautiful, fresh produce is in order... something to pass the time.
