Back in November, I posted about our CSA experience. We signed up for an 18 week summer share, which is pretty normal. We also opted into the winter storage share, which was 2 large pickups of hearty items that would weather the winter months. And weather the winter they did, lasting well into February (4 months later).
I thought it was interesting & educational to hare our pickups, so anyone interested in signing up could see both how the volume changes, but also how the season fruit & veggies change across 18 weeks. I mentioned at the end of that post that I would share all of the CSA-specific recipes we made with our shares. I still have some squash leftover and 1 bag of dried beans, but below highlights our CSA-specific cooking, baking, and pickling!
