we've finally done it... this week our first box of organic, local (mostly- some of the fruit can't grow here), sustainable produce from full circle farm is scheduled to arrive! this week we are getting: 1 bunch spinach, 1 bunch brocolette, 1 bunch kale, 1 bunch carrots, 1 cucumber, 1 bunch green leaf lettuce, 1 bunch spring onions, 1 bunch baby white turnips, 1/2 lb red grapes, 4 valencia oranges, 3 nectarines and 3 yellow peaches. YUM! they also have a green grocery and we can customize our box with special orders. this week i think we are going to add the bake at home sourdough bread since we didn't bring any home from san francisco. other organic and local items available: milk and cream, tofu, eggs, cheese, butter, honey, tea, coffee, juice, chocolate, grains (like risotta and farro), fresh pasta, nuts, meat, and speciatly vinegar and salts- hello aged balsamic vinegar and truffle salt!
my friend maureen in denver turned me on to this. she is trying a csa (community supported agriculture) program in her area. i also have another friend in denver that is trying a different program that is very similar to full circle farm box. look up the options in your area. it's very affordable and surprisingly convenient- many deliver straight to your door!
here is a neat article by cook local that will give you lots of great info whether you're in washington or elsewhere.
