It’s the summertime and that means that every Saturday morning I’m heading to the local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm to get some fresh produce. Well, sorta… It turns out that my local CSA farm hasn’t really produced very many good weekly “takes” in the last few weeks. In fact, take a look at my latest take from the local CSA farm:
Eh. Scant at best.
Pretty scant, huh? All that I was able to pick up in addition to what’s in the picture is some berries. I am, of course, heading back to the farm this Saturday morning so I’m hoping that there is a better take this week. In any event, I’ll post the results here.
Why do you figure it’s been so poor lately? Is it a weather thing there? I’m curious because here in Canada where I am we’ve been able to get hold of some pretty good fruit and veg this summer.
I’m not really, sure, Steve. The farmers suggest that the weather hasn’t been helping – we’re having sporadic rain and intense heat on the Jersey Shore so I’m sure that messes with the growing season. Whatever the cause of the problems, I hope that the farm starts producing because at this rate, I can’t imagine purchasing a share again next season.
