What if I am bored with (fill in the blank)?

The very idea that vegetables are only available during a particular season makes them all the more special. Once you have eaten produce at the height of its season, you will have a hard time eating out of season again. Because we share the risks as well as the rewards with the farmer, we may sometimes experience many weeks of a bountiful crop while missing something that was not as successful.

• The CSA website and newsletters, cookbooks, and the internet can all help with fresh ideas for produce.
• Pickup days are a great time to network with other members and with CSA volunteers about preparation ideas. Occasionally we will have recipe tastings and cooking demonstrations.
• Preserving (freezing, canning, drying, etc.) vegetables and fruit for a future time helps prevent boredom and offers the convenience of having home-made food ready to use at later times.
