Looking Forward to Fall CSA Harvests
Posted by Jennifer Norman July 16th, 2008 .
I have enjoyed being a member of CSA. Serving meals made with fresh local produce made me proud. As I continue to learn as a homemaker, I realize that the meals I prepare impact our environment. Not only did I learn about different veggies, I tried new recipes. Sure, the beet chips didn’t work out so well, it was raining tomatoes and squash around here (my garden too), and I had to Google some veggies - but the benefits were far more numerable. We saved money, the Melon cantaloupe was perfection, and the veggie sandwiches and casseroles were yummy.
I look forward to the fall pick-ups of seasonable, regional fruits, and vegetables. So, thank you to all those green friends who inquired as to whether or not I was a CSA member, and thank you Ambrose Family Farm.
Now, to make my own bread…there is always more to try!

I know it’s a bummer the CSA’s don’t resume until OCTOBER
But don’t let the momentum stop with the local produce! If you’re garden is struggling in the summer heat (pollinators slack off in the swelter), and you’re tempted to go back to the grocery store for your produce, remember you can still go to straight to the farms or the faremers’ markets to get yer produce fix while the CSA program’s are inactive. Plus, if you keep your eyes peeled, there are local produce stands just about everywhere. If you can’t get sea island produce, upstate goodies are next best… the peaches are delicious!

Couldn’t agree more! I absolutely love Rukes Fruit and Vegetable stand on Mathis Ferry. With young children, I do buy apples and pears from the West Coast, but at least I can count on Ruke to supply us with delicious local produce to fill our tummies until Fall (and at my convenience!)
