CSA socializing
June 30, 2008 by Sara Zoe.
It’s amazing how many people are members of Community Supported Agriculture farms on the Seacoast - and how many more people would like to be if there were more shares available! Even my mom got a CSA share this year, and I’m receiving weekly emails like “we got these weird green stalky curly things they called scapes - what do I do with them?” (Scapn’ bits is my answer of late - mince and pan fry in a little oil until crispy, treat like bacn’ bits if bacn’ bits were made of awesome).
A lot of new and seasoned CSA members have the same things in common - questions about cooking ideas, interest in supporting local agriculture, and general excitement of the “holy crow I’ve got awesome food here!” variety.
Kathy Pearce, a first-time CSA share member but long time information/good-things-online goddess, has set up an easy to use discussion space online for CSA members throughout the Seacoast to share questions, ideas, and “holy crow” excitement. What a great initiative and idea to connect folks throughout the area!
