It's here! The first week of the summer CSA share with the Good Food Collective is upon us and it looks like I'm going to be eating a lot of greens. Check this out:
Pretty exciting, and I took this photo below from the Good Food Collective's Facebook, showing shareholders where their produce came from that week. I also purchased an optional bread share, that conveniently provides a hefty loaf every week from Rochester's Flour City Bread Company that uses all organic flour and sources locally as much as possible.
What we've got here is beets, Swiss chard, kale, romaine lettuce, garlic scapes, scallions, and strawberries. There's nothing too exotic in there, except that they gave me like, 18 million garlic scapes. They're good though, if you're into garnishing every single thing you eat like a contestant on Chopped. Or something.

Old Ridge Farms is Certified Organic while Raindance Harvest and Lagoner Farms use sustainable practices, but have not been certified. More information about each farm that provides to the GFC and its practices can be found here.
What's also cool about the GFC is its Food Manuel that gives information and tips for any fruit or vegetable you'll encounter during the season. It makes things easier, but no one should stray from exploring on their own! C'est la vie: Like a CSA share, you never know what you're going to get. And when you do get it, you have no idea what to do.
Right?
