Our First CSA

On June 13th, we picked up our first CSA box from Tierra Farms.

The box included fava beans, red onions, cilantro that you can smell a mile away, amazing leaf lettuce, fresh strawberry jam, a few summer squash and two dried chipotles (watch out!). It truly does not get more fresh than this... all the veggies were picked the same day we brought them home.


And when we got them home:

We chopped up the squash and the red onions, along with some peppers we had in the fridge (we're not going cold turkey on the regular store)...

Tossed with some tofu and tomatoes...

















And served them up with a salad made from the fresh lettuce.

The key word is fresh...the squash tasted more like squash, the lettuce, more like lettuce...peppery and earthy...and the onions were the sweetest and most fragrant we've ever had.

One meal down...now what to do with the fava beans?!
