Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative

For the winter, Alex and I decided to join the Farm Fresh Coop for seasonal organic veggies from local farms.

We've never done this before but have known about it for a while and the coop uses the Brubaker farm for some of it's produce year round which makes it pretty cool.

This week is the first week and they just sent a newsletter stating what we could be getting. Here it is, straight from the newsletter:

1 Bunch Red Tatsoi - Certified Organic - Riverview Organics

1 Bunch Collards - Certified Organic - Autumn Blend Organics

1 Head Napa Cabbage - Certified Organic - Bellview Organics

1 Leek - Certified Organic - Coyote Run Organics

1 Head Broccoli - Certified Organic - Pine Hill Organics

1 Bag Carrots - Certified Organic - Sunrise Ridge Organics

1 Bunch White Kohlrabi - Certified Organic - Sweetaire Farm

2 Heads Green Leaf Lettuce - Certified Organic - The Back 40 Ranch

1 Head White Cauliflower - Certified Organic - Green Valley Organics

1 Buttercup Squash - Certified Organic - Riverview Organics 

1 Bunch Chrysanthemum Greens - Certified Organic - Riverview Organics

Doesn't that sound delish? Pretty sure we're going to be living it up with some gourmet cooking this winter, which is appropriate to get as much in as we can before baby girl's arrival. This little one will be lucky though since we'll probably do the Summer Share as well and her first veggies will be from local organic farms.

Hopefully as we use the veggies I can post more about them and how we're preparing them. Above is a picture of what we got this week. YUM!

Here's a picture of what we made for dinner last night with our fresh harvest! It's a basic stirfry that Alex whipped up in a flash and then added some home-cured bacon bits to. It was yummy and I can't wait to see what else we can make with this bounty of organicness.
