Welcome to the CSA Café!

Welcome to the CSA Café! This is a place where you can learn how to make the most of your CSA membership. We are not farmers, produce sellers, chefs or in any way associated with CSA programs - we simply are members of local CSAs and looking to share our love of the produce we receive every week!

Why are we starting this blog? Especially if this is your first year joining a CSA, it can be hard to figure out what to do with a surprise box of produce every week. Finding recipes, knowing what you can save and what to use now, even knowing how to take care of the different items can be time consuming and even frustrating. Our goal is to help you "Use The Box" to maximum effect, for you and your family!

Leading up to the CSA season, we will post recipes to help you clean out your pantry, fridge and freezer as well as make some basic ingredients that you can use in conjunction with the items you will receive with your CSA. In mid-May, once most CSAs start delivering produce, we will start posting tips, recipes and other information on what to do with the items you are receiving.

We will introduce ourselves in the next few days. In the meantime, remember to sign up now for your local CSA! And if you aren't able to join a CSA or prefer to buy local produce from another source, no worries - this blog is all about eating what is in season to feed your family cheaply and healthily, no matter the source!
