As you may remember we signed up for the Community Supported Agriculture program at Cape Cod Organic Farm in Barnstable.
Briefly the idea is that you pay $500 to sign up and once a week , from June 18 to November 17, you go to the farm and get a selection of vegetables and fruit that is ripe and ready to go, for a family of four, plus a bouquet of flowers and starting in September a dozen eggs (the chicks are still too young to lay eggs).
Today was the first pick-up day at the farm. Mr. B and I got onto our broom and went down there to pick up our stuff right on time. I will say that at first I was little taken aback by the amount of stuff we got but then I remembered that it has been a cool spring with little sun and lots of rain. I suspect that once everything else starts growing the boxes of produce will be a little more generous. At any rate here is a little video of the excursion and a photo of the produce we got this week. I'll update you all again next week.
