I was pretty excited to get a farm share for this summer, and found a couple classmates to split it with. Designed for a family of four, we are splitting it three ways, so fairly thin I guess.
Today was finally the first pickup!
One of our sharers was going to go with me to get it, but she worked overnight last night and then got distracted by something this morning and didn't go to bed until afternoon. So I dragged EP.
It is an hour drive to the farm where we must pick up the share, with potential for ugly traffic. Traffic looked like it might be bad on the way home, but really the drive time was about the same.
Anyway, we picked up the share, and it was somehow somewhat less than I was hoping for. The list of produce to expect is pretty long, so I am hoping that it is just a function of being the first crops of the season, etc and that things just aren't up and running fully yet. For example, their farm stand doesn't open for another few days.
We got a head of red lettuce, tatsoi, "braising greens" and a pint of strawberries. And an adorable basil plant. Adorable. Mini.
I dutifully split these things equally, with the exception of the basil plant, as it doesn't split. I appropriated that and made the unilateral decision that first dibs on unique indivisible items should go to the driver. I imagine there could be more.
They are all nice looking veggies, so that's good. And certainly there is more tatsoi and braising greens than I know what to do with already...
It is a weekly pickup, so pretty driving intensive and hopefully EP doesn't get defaulted too many times because how painful for him to be a slave to my whim! |
