how2heroes CSA adventure

One of our kind and generous friends, Louisa Kasdon, is a member of the Sienna Farms CSA*. She is travelling the world for a few weeks so offered to let us pick up her produce and share it amongst ourselves. The pick-up spot was at SOFRA Bakery, a gorgeous bakery owned by Ana Sortun, wife of Sienna Farms’ owner Chris Kurth.

We had such a great time thinking about what would be in this week’s bounty and what we might do with it. Opening the box to the beautiful smells and colors of seasonal ingredients is a real treat and something that is best expressed how2heroes style – in video. Hope you enjoy watching and that you become a member of a CSA and support your local farmers.

*CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture which consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation. By direct sales to community members, who have provided the farmer with working capital in advance, growers receive better prices for crops & gain some financial security. Individuals enjoy farm fresh produce!

    I love to see other people get that excited when getting produce. I live in Portland, OR and last week went to my first farmer’s market of the season and was TRILLED to get so many beautiful veggies… I got beets too!

    I think that was Swiss chard rather than rhubarb so here’s your recipe. I adore chard this time of year.
