| - Chow locally is awesome! Every Monday I get an email telling me what is in my Box for the week. I have until 9 PM that evening to decide if I want to cancel for the week. Each box has 7-9 vegetables, fruit, local grains that are identified by which farm they come from.
A week might bring curly red Kale from crooked sky farms, Onions from Maya's, spinach, dandelion greens, and Apples from Dyncan Family farms (PS Arizona grown apples are delicious!)
In the process, I have trained my brain to get excited and ready for the challenge of what each weeks veggies bring me. During the summer, I had an abundance of cucumbers, so I started pickling them. I also learned multiple recipes for the various summer squashes, that I doubt I would have utilized on my own.
While I get excited in meal planning and go to Epicurious for ideas, Chow Locally also supplies recipes concocted by its resident nutritionist.
It's a model for CSA's across the country. I have friends in other states who get CSA's... But none have had one who tells them what they are getting in ADVANCE.
So much fun, and great produce!
