Last CSA for 2009
Being part of a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project has not only provided me with super-fresh, delicious vegetables every week, but also made me feel more connected with where, when and how my food is grown. If you're keen to join what will hopefully be a growing movement supporting small local organic farmers, there's a final opportunity for 2009. The Slow Food CSA is having one last 6-week stint of spring/summer vegetables, and there are still (I believe) a few places left. more

And there's a new one all set up for spring! more
A Walnut addict By Nature
Walnuts are in season. Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! I'm chortling all the way to market... Forgive me, but there is reason for my excitement: it's not just that they're in season, it's because I have found walnuts that match the rather high expectations created by my rather biased childhood memories, and I just can't get enough of them. more
