Let's get Started

I am trying to make healthier food choices for both myself and my family. I decided to start getting Farmer’s choice boxes at a local farm. There are two farms locally that offer a “Farmer’s Choice Box” or an “Organic Harvest Box.” These are the weekly shares that someone would get from a CSA without the financial commitment. Each Tuesday, I receive an email from both farms with the list of the coming attractions. I can then decide where I want to order from. I decided to do this because we often get stuck in a rut eating the same fruits and vegetables all the time. I look forward to finding and sharing new recipes as the season progresses.  I am excited to make this culinary journey, and I hope my family can hang on for the ride.
