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.

• First time ever getting broccoli from the CSA. Getting broccoli is an exciting change. Changes! I love you.
• Burkart Farms’ Organic Flame Seedless Raisins, HOLY GOD, the best raisins in the world. Period. Ever. After eating these raisins I realized I have never eaten a real raisin before, it makes a huge difference. (I was just tasting them to try and describe the taste accurately, but it is impossible. I’ve never tasted anything so good. Now I can’t stop snacking on them). The man who sold them to us was all excited that they “are made from the same grapes that were just sitting on these tables a few months ago.” WE FEEL YOU.
