Imperfect and Wonderful Creations

Today in our basket of produce from Elmwood Farms we found a quart of organic strawberries! I love strawberries and I have considered them to be my favorite food for as long as I can remember. This post is a tribute not only to strawberries, but to abnormal strawberries. I picked out the odd ones for you to see. I hope they don't mind being made fun of because Tyler and I had a good time laughing at them.


Today we also bought a half dozen organic eggs! I'm excited about these because I've never had such a fresh egg. Notice the variations in size and color. I think they are beautiful and I encourage anyone who reads this to branch out from your usual Super Mega Mart and find some good-for-you and good-for-the-Earth food elsewhere.

Something New - Community Supported Agriculture

Today is the first day Tyler and I have picked up locally grown vegetables from an organization we joined called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). The food is grown in Georgetown, KY by Elmwood Stock Farm and they set up at farmer's markets around town. Today in our basket we got Asparagus, Organic Salad Mix, Organic Garlic Greens and Organic Radishes.

This picture is just one I borrowed from their website as an indication of what we have to look forward to. I'm open for suggestions as far as how to cook these vegetables and for good recipes. Especially for asparagus - I want to learn to like it!

The season is still early, but I think we have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks.
