As a recent proud, partial-owner of a share in a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm, I'm looking forward to a summer full of fresh produce. But, since this little project occupies a substantial portion of the monthly grocery budget, it will take some creativity to come up with recipes that use the harvest from the farm, but don't put me in the red. In the spirit of a new challenge, this summer I plan to chronicle my journey into fresh, local produce and delightful new recipes.

We discovered the DeLano Farms CSA through my roommate Kristin's not-so-secret obsession with the Kalamazoo Nature Center. They were offering shares for this inaugural season of the farm. In exchange for supporting the farm financially, shareholders get to stop by the farm weekly to pick up our portion of the bounty. It took us all of a long bike ride on the first sunny Sunday afternoon of the season to decide that this was for us. We took a little trip out to the farm to check it out and the crops were already on their way. I, for one, am looking forward in eager anticipation to something called a fava bean (forever in my mind known as the flava flav bean) that was promised to be coming soon. I can only assume that nothing but good things are in store for us from here on out.
