Community Supported Agriculture- Week 3

This is my portion of the harvest box today.  Potatoes, broccoli, swiss chard, bok choy, radishes, green onion, kolrabi and daikon radish.  I made a stir fry with local shrimp that I bought from The Daily Catch on Commercial Drive. I used the asian greens, broccoli and radishes in it.  It was delish.  I sat in the remaining sunbeams of this evening and sipped on the Apricot Wheat Ale from St-Ambroise Brewery from Montreal.  Yep, life is pretty good! 

Community Supported Agriculture- Week 1

My friend Sarah and I are sharing a harvest box through the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).  We are each paying $300 shares ($25 goes to the local food bank) for the year to receive half a box ration each of produce weekly from today (June 26) until late October.  All the produce is grown locally using volunteered residential properties.  We pick it up weekly at a location in Mount Pleasant.  It's really great incentive to eat more greens! This is the selection that I received this week.
