Organic Food

Scott and I thought we would try out a home delivery of organic food. I happened to see the truck for Timber Creek Farms one day on my way to work, and it intrigued me. I called last week and ordered the Fruit and Vegetable box. Our first delivery arrived on Monday. We had to place a cooler on the porch in the morning, and when we got home that evening, it was filled with healthy goodness. I had thought that this would also be locally grown, and help with the whole 100 mile thing but you can see that isn't true by the things we received.

Of course, I don't see any where that they advertise locally grown, so I must have just made that up. It does seem like we got our money's worth with a lot of stuff. Unfortunately, most of it is stuff that Scott doesn't like, but he has been a good sport and tried it. So far, we have had:

Watermelon - I've had several pieces and Scott tried one

Romaine lettuce - We made a salad out of it one night, and then I cut up some for tacos the next.

Cucumber - I used part of this on a salad, and then ate the rest at work.

Spinach - We used the leaves on the salad.

The trick will be to use it all up before it goes bad. I looked up a recipe for the red chard, but haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
