High­lights

• I found out how many mem­bers are in the South Cen­tral Farm CSA! Since it is not a tra­di­tional CSA pro­gram (instead of pay­ing for the entire sea­son up front, com­mu­nity mem­bers are pre­sented with the option to order boxes weekly) things are a bit dif­fer­ent. They do about 80 boxes a week, but with up to 200 dif­fer­ent folks participating.
• We also heard that we are Alberto’s favorite Hol­ly­wood cus­tomers and it made us blush.

• Get­ting epic acorn squash (seri­ously the tex­ture was like a kabocha!) per Matthew Bachler’s insider tip to check out foley(?) farms. If you like squash and live in LA, do your­self a favor and GET ONE.
