This past summer (and the three summers before) we have enjoyed the bounties of a CSA with the EASY BEAN FARM. Peter and I shared a full share of vegetables with Phil & Pat. Each Friday we received a box of goodies well worth the money. There are many good reasons for supporting local farmers and I am sure you all know those. The downfall is that you share the woes of the farmer too like bad weather, pests, crop failure and over abundance of just one item. All those things can make it interesting, adventurous and sometimes boring, however I have a refrigerator full of onions that will last well into the winter, a freezer full of tomatoes and brussel sprouts and hopefully a healthful body from all the good food. Our last box came Friday and that is the absolute sign to me that summer has passed.
