Certified Organic
This year I will be getting my vegetables from Full Harvest Farm located just north of Hartford.
Chuck and Terry are the owners and grow certified organic produce. No dull tasting and pesticide covered greens for us this season.
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. You can read up on it, as well as on Full Harvest Farm on the links provided. Basically, the community supports the farmer in advance and in return gets a share of their harvest every week.
The best thing is, that I am getting it by a workers share. What that means is, that I will be working 4 hours every week on the West Bend Farmers market to receive a family size share of CSA.
Twist my arm. The market is beautiful. It is the second biggest farmers market in Wisconsin. When I get there at 7.30 am in the morning the air is so fresh and only enhanced by the produce and the smell of scones and other goodies baked by a little restaurant close by.
One more thing. This blog is for me to remember what works and what doesn't. I am doing this to be able to look it up next year, but I wanted to share this experience.
I am not entirely sure about the whole concept of the blog yet. I hope it will just unfold itself.
Also, I have never been the best writer. I write like i talk.... just thought I'd mention.
