Tucson CSA

Week 2 of 13: Tomatoes, potatoes, grapefruit, beets, squash, cucumber, wildflowers

The Tucson CSA is a group of Tucsonans that subscribe to a farm to get shares of produce. We are on a 3 month cycle. This is our first month as members and it's a great experiance to pick up our produce and plan our meals according to the seasons.

Ever since I read Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dillemma, I have been more and more concerned about our food sources.

Especially once my Izzie was born, I want to keep her body as clear from pesticides and added hormones as possible. The CSA provides organic and local foods for our table.

There are immediate benefits from this union. I am losing weight without trying too hard by eating less meat, 4-5 meals total and eating more vegetables.

Since I get new produce in every week, I have to eat up the ones from last week or lose the food.

We are happy members of CSA.
