Community Support Agriculture, Part I - June 23rd box

We signed up for a Community Supported Agriculture farm share (well, half a share) from a farm near our house. This is the first box we received, June 23rd 2008. We picked it up at a house in our town where all the boxes are dropped off.

The farmer sent an email saying the wet spring had slowed the crops down and so this wouldn't be the best set of produce, but it was still a nice package.


The box as we recieved it - picked up from a location not too far from our house.




...and the contents of the box. I didn't store these properly due to ignorance (need to wash them and store them between moist paper towels in the refrigerator) and most of it spoiled except for the spinach. I wilted that in a pan with some garlic (with a recipe from the America's Test Kitchen family cookbook) and it was pretty good.
