Farm Share Friday - Week 4

It’s time to see what we received in our weekly share box from our local farm!

These posts are not sponsored! Just a little insight from me on how these programs work.

Yay for Friday! We made it!

This week for #farmsharefriday I have a really great recipe for greens, one that the entire family enjoyed! I also have so much produce from the box this week that I couldn’t squeeze it all into one photo. As the weather continues to improve, I have a feeling our share boxes will continue to reflect that!

First up, this super easy collard greens recipe…1.5 year old approved! I love fast recipes with minimal prep time and this recipe was perfect!

Next up, I have a photo of some of the contents from our share box this week! I left out of the photo the rest of the turnips, and opted to show you just one of each so the picture wasn’t too cluttered, you get the idea!

2 large heads of lettuce

1 bunch asparagus

1 dozen eggs

1 bunch collard greens

1 bunch each red and white turnips

1 bunch parsley

1 bunch green onions

I am excited to have more collard greens for dinner tonight! I will be back next week to share what we loved and the contents of our next box. Follow along on Instagram for all of our decor/renovation/building projects, there’s always something happening!

Thank you for stopping by the blog today!

Farm Share Friday - Week 2

It’s time for #farmsharefriday!

(these posts are not sponsored, just me sharing my personal experience with my local CSA)

We had another wet week here in Iowa, but that didn’t seem to influence this week’s share box quantities! This week contained a nice mix of local items and produce, some that I would have probably not tried/purchased out on my own…which is part of the fun of it!

First, let’s recap recipes from last week that we tried and loved…

Lemon Asparagus Risotto: This recipe is really tasty, however takes a bit longer to cook than I was anticipating, but that seems to just be my unfamiliarity with cooking risotto.

Rhubarb Crisp: A fast and easy recipe, this one is sure to hit the spot!

Avocado/Egg/Radish Toast…1 year old approved!

If you follow along on Instagram, head over there for the un-boxing video on stories! Here are the contents of our share box from week 2:

-12 brown eggs

-2 heads of lettuce: green and red

-1 bunch kale

-1 bunch radishes

-1 bag cheese curds

-1 bag spinach

-2 lbs of rhubarb

-1 bunch of fresh honey sticks

-1 bunch fresh mint

I already know I am going to try juicing some of the kale and spinach, I just need to grab an apple at the store this week. Stay tuned for how that turns out! As far as the rest, I will be getting creative on google looking for recipes, and I might need a fresh mint mojito to help me search! Yum!

As always, thank you for stopping by the blog today! If you have any farm share questions feel free to submit them here or track me down on Instagram, I will try and answer them the best I can! See you soon!
