Veggies

Kristen and I have signed up to join a local farmer's co-op here in Northern Nevada. Basically, we contribute a chunk of money (quite a bit, actually) that goes towards supporting local farmers. In return, we get a weekly share of what they're growing. Once a week we go and pick up a box of fresh fruits and veggies. It's different each week depending on what's being picked. We figured this would be a good way to help out local farmers who are getting hit hard by the rise in fuel prices (their tractors burn diesel which is the highest priced fuel), would also keep us from buying fruits and veggies from big chain supermarkets that truck it in from California (using lots of fuel) and it will also force us to eat healthier.

We'll get a box each week from July thru the first week of October. I'm curious to see how much we get and what the quality is like.
