Are you a new student CSA member? Don’t know a chef’s knife from a paring knife? Can’t tell the difference between collards and chard? Never fear, the Food, Farm, and Sustainability Blog is here for you!
This semester, we will posting weekly recipes, cooking skills, and announcements of classes or other events to help you learn how to cook (or become a better cook than you already are), how to preserve your food so it doesn’t just rot in the fridge, and what to do with baffling items such as kohlrabi and radicchio. (What even IS that??) Don’t worry, though – there also will plenty of more familiar food in your share, like lettuce, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and spinach.

Bookmark this blog and stay tuned as we help you make the most of your CSA share, build up your cooking skills, and guide to you through this veggie-filled semester!
Are you a more experienced cook? Have your own terrific recipes and ideas to share? Know any secret tricks for slicing onions without crying, getting the smell of chopped garlic off your hands, or whipping up a batch of fresh ginger ice cream?
