Community Supported Agriculture


Today I just want to put a little attention on CSA's or Community Supported Agriculture farms. We are members of the closest to our home. We belong to Dancing Roots in Troutdale, OR. These farms are popping up all over the country and they offer more then just great food. Our experience this year has been one of education, camaraderie and commitment. We go every Monday to pick up our share of the produce. We don't really know what we will get from week to week so it's sort of like Christmas. We also get some vegetables that I may not normally have looked into and it forced me to try some new recipes. If you are not familiar with CSA's there are lots of resources on the Internet and the links above are good starts. Just another way to Be A Good Egg.

Chicken Pic: On this post you will see Ruben, aka Ruben T. "Rooster" Cogburn. When he was a little chick I named him Mrs. Cogburn. Then he crowed one morning when he was about 4 months. He has his days when I think he should be on our table, but he is a good guy for his ladies. He always shares his food with them and keeps them "happy" if you know what I mean.
