I'd heard about CSAs awhile ago (Community Supported Agriculture) and had always been interested in trying it out. It's basically fresh, organic produce from a local farm that they either deliver or you pick up each week. The past few weeks I've been trying to simplify as much as possible, and what could be simpler than a weekly delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables?
I've been researching, and a lot of the CSAs around here require a year-long membership that you can only join when someone else drops out, or only have produce in the summer, or have a designated place where you have to pick up your order. I also found one that will ship it to you through UPS. But my friend recommended one that she said was awesome, and they will deliver it to your door. I checked it out, and it's the best one that I've found in the area! It's called farmfreshtoyou.com. The farm is located a few hours north of Sacramento, yet they still deliver it by hand to my house in Campbell.
The produce is amazing, and it had to have been picked that day - the cuts on the broccoli and greens were fresh. I signed up for deliveries every other week to start out, just to see how we like it. Since right now it's only me and Aubrina, it's plenty for the two of us, and I even had enough to share. Can't wait to see what we get in our next delivery!

That's awesome. I had some neighbors who did that in Montana last summer. The stuff they got always looked great. And might I add that package of yours looks amazing!! I think I need to do the same thing this summer!
I have been thinking about doing this for awhile after hearing so much good stuff from our friends/family. You may have pushed me over the edge to finally taking the plunge!
Kimmy, you should totally do it! I was really impressed with the stuff we got and it's so easy!
I remember you said you were cooking meals ahead of time to get ready for the week. My friend just posted about a website that has recipes for homemade freezer meals that I thought you might be interested in:
