My wife and I have been members of Owl’s Nest Farm for a number of years. I love being a part of a CSA, and especially Owl’s Nest. The quality and variety of vegetables we receive each week is amazing and I’ve learned how to cook with new vegetables like bok choy and hakurei turnips, which I never had as a kid. I love talking to the farmer and other CSA members at pick-up about what they plan to cook with the week’s bounty.
I also feel connected to the land, the weather, and climate change in new and deeper ways. I have found that, as a CSA member, I pay more attention to the amount of rain we receive and I think about how our farmers are outside harvesting our food on even the hottest days of the year when I’m sitting by the air conditioner. Having that personal connection to the land just 15 miles away and to the Owl’s Nest farmers who have lovingly harvested my carrots, makes them taste even better!
