Met a lady yesterday who said she hesitated to get farm share not because of cost or accessibility but because she was afraid of ending up with food she didn't want.

I told her I take the food I don't want to the food pantry.

She was like HMMMMM...

Ok fedifolk, hit me with your best recipes for celeriac and/or turnip. Our farm share included both (2 medium celeriac, 1 big turnip) and I've never cooked them before. Recipe search is an AI wasteland these days so I turn to the real people of Mastodon.

My thoughts about planting a garden (buy farm share instead!) Buyerarchy of Needs & how to shift your mindset about consumption: lots of links, ideas & frothy #solarpunk stuff to stare down the chaos.

Fast food, slow food style: I made up about 3 pints of beet slaw this afternoon.

The local farm share has wonderful beets this year, and one of my favorite ways to eat them is in a slaw: peeled and shredded, with thin-sliced onions, in Italian dressing with a little extra vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.

They keep for about two weeks in the refrigerator, and make a really easy side dish with lunches and dinners.

The lovely Mrs Strombo and I picked up our half farm and mushroom share at Blooming Glen Farm.

We also did u-pick sweet peas and couldn't resist eating a few off the vine.

Waterloo region folks, the Fertile Grounds CSA is accepting more members. I’ve been getting fresh veggies, eggs, mushrooms, etc. from them for a few years. It’s good stuff. If you’d like to support local farmers and eat well, here’s where you can learn more. There’s also sliding scale share pricing so that folks with tight budgets can share, too.

If you sign up and feel so inclined, you can send them a note saying I sent you. I get a little bit of credit I can use to buy seedlings from them. :) https://share.sender.net/campaigns/7mYR/its-time-csa-registration-is-open #CSA @WaterlooEvents @waterlooregion #KitchenerWaterloo #FarmShare #KWAwesome

Unbelievable haul from #Crimson&Clover #Farmshare in #Northampton Massachusetts today! They really over-delivered on their winter shares. (I could have taken more, but we couldn’t eat more before next week!)

Definitely going to make kale slaw for my lunches this week, and I’ll for sure roast up some sweet potato oven fries. We’ll have salads and broccoli and bok choi in ginger sauce, and I might just pickle my daikons with those carrots!
