Just sharing some of the latest pictures from our community supported agriculture (CSA) farm take. As you can see, the farm is heavy on yellow squash and zucchini. However, we also picked up some very small eggplants and some green peppers (and one purple pepper which I added to an omelet the other morning – it was delicious).

According to my calendar, we have six weeks left for the CSA farm this season. I might try to work my way in there at some point during the off season to see what’s going on and whether they have any other types of organic food that we can purchase. Stay tuned for more pictures from the farm.

Unfortunately, I’m a slight bit behind in terms of showing what we’re getting from the local community supported agriculture (CSA) farm. However, I won’t let that stop me from posting some pictures for you guys to see. Below are the images of our take from the CSA farm when we went there on Saturday, September 4th (Labor Day Weekend).

As you can see, we picked up more vegetables (especially yellow squash and zucchini) than we have in the recent past. Also, I can tell you that the share we received from Saturday, September 11th was pretty substantial, which is a good thing. Stay tuned – more pictures in the coming days…

Earlier today, I wrote about how much produce we picked up at the local CSA farm on September 4th. Well, we were also there on September 11th and though I don’t have a picture of the produce that we picked up, I do have a picture of some truly free-ranging chickens that were walking around the farm. Take a look below (click on the image to get a full-size picture).

Pretty cool, huh? The alternative to having these chickens freely ranging around the farm is to have them all cooped up in ridiculous small cages, pecking at each other for sustenance since they’re not able to find food on their own. It’s gross what the industrialized farms do to their animals – which is why I like seeing these chickens walking around like they own the place each week!

Right from the get-go let’s understand that there’s no need for you all to be jealous, folks. 🙂 Below are two pictures of the omelet that I made for breakfast yesterday morning (typically, I make an omelet for breakfast on Sunday mornings). As you’ll see, there are a bunch of vegetables from the CSA farm strewn throughout this mess. A list of ingredients is available below the pictures.

Okay, so right off the bat you should know that the wheat toast and the eggs are from Wegmans, not the farm. The ingredients from the local CSA farm are: fresh garlic, green peppers, yellow squash, and red tomatoes. I added the mushrooms (a lot of mushrooms – also from Wegmans), bacon bits, and some salt and pepper. It was absolutely delicious!

Part of what makes the food that I make with farm food so tasty is the fact that the organic produce seems to have more “punch” in terms of flavor. The garlic is much more potent than the stuff you buy at the store, the green peppers actually have a strong peppery taste, and the yellow squash is great. I’m looking forward to picking up more of this delicious produce this Saturday!
