Bought My Stock!

I wanted to do a follow up post to the CSA boxes I featured on here a couple weeks ago.  I have since purchased my own CSA box from Farm Fresh to you!  I decided on the all veggies options since I am always trying to get the vegetables onto my plate and into my stomach.  Fruit is never a problem...natures candy right?!  And who doesn't like candy :-)

This is what I found waiting at my front door Tuesday morning!  I absolutely love that I was able to put the box inside before leaving the house for the day.  They deliver EARLY or really LATE depending on how you look at the time...It is very settling knowing that I don't have to worry about the produce rotting from being outside all day.  As soon as I saw it I put it in my frig and left the house for the day.

Here is the list of goodies in this weeks box.

(I think after the 2 there is suppose to be the word avocado because I had two avocados randomly in my box that I do not see on the list!  Score for me.)

Last Night I roasted the spaghetti squash to make just that...grain free, low carb spaghetti noodles.  In the oven I put in a sweet pumpkin to roast to...might as well make most use out of the oven.  I followed my post on roasting pumpkin.

 
I am more than pleased with my box and look forward to my next box in a couple weeks.  Since I am the only one using my box I decided on the delivery every other week.

Buy stocks of Community Supported Agriculture

Do you own stocks in the stock market?  Does it make you feel good that you own a piece of something with the potential of making money off of it?

How about owning shares of a farm?  The shares would come in the form of a box delivered to your front door step full of seasonal vegetables and fruits from the farm.  The potential earnings from the shares is money saved in your pocket that didn't go towards overpriced modified fruits and vegetables from the market AND not to mention eating the shares is one of the greatest things you can do for your body!

Community Supported Agriculture are shares you want to purchase. 

"This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer. In brief...
Advantages for farmers:
  • Get to spend time marketing the food early in the year, before their 16 hour days in the field begin
  • Receive payment early in the season, which helps with the farm's cash flow
  • Have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow
Advantages for consumers:
  • Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits
  • Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking
  • Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season
  • Find that kids typically favor food from "their" farm – even veggies they've never been known to eat
  • Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown"

A company I would like to feature that offers this type of service with an added organic appeal is Farm Fresh to You!

They offer a wide variety of different types of boxes, from large to small, veggies and fruits to only veggies or only fruits, to a new addition the juice box (veggies that are best for juicing).
