CSA

5



Below is an inventory of our Kretschmann Farm CSA weekly box contents, in reverse chronological order.  We receive the “plus” sized box, which is $27/week for 25 weeks, and we think it’s a steal (we also order lots of extras over the course of the season — bushels and pecks of tomatoes, beets, peppers, peaches and other goodies — as add ons, but those are not featured on this page because they’re not part of the standard subscription).  Click on the hyperlink for each week to see pictures of the contents of each box (or click here for a photo retrospective of the 2011 season).

    Wow – what a great way to track what you got from your CSA each week! I attempted to post a list and photos each week on my blog (we LOVE our CSA), but I’m not so much with photography and I have a cat who likes to sneak into the photos so he can eat turnip greens and anything else green – ha!)

    I love the idea of having a separate page! You’ve inspired me! Thanks!

    • Sara says:

      Thanks Aimee! I’ll be honest, there were times when I thought “ugh, I just don’t have the energy tonight to take pictures of the CSA box tonight” but in retrospect I’m glad I made myself do it because it’s fun to flip through and see what we got over the course of the season. And I hope it will encourage other people to sign up for a CSA, because it makes you try so many new, delicious things. As for photography, I’ve got zero training (as you can plainly see!) but my advice is force yourself to take pictures as often as possible and you will start to see an improvement. I still have a TON to learn and I still take absolutely horrible pictures all the time, but I can see an improvement from the beginning of the season to the end, and it’s all about practice (and lighting, and reading your camera’s manual if you haven’t already, which I had not when I started). And I think your cat is super cute, so don’t shoo him out of the pics! I love your blog and hope you do a CSA inventory too, I’d be excited to see what someone else is getting week to week. Happy new year!

        Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d fguerid I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!
