This is the first year that we decided to buy a share in our local CSA Manitoba program from Stoneland Orchard. For 12 weeks we will get fresh produce and I decided it would be fun to share with my readers the yummy fresh food we pick up each week.
Week One Basket included:
- Zucchini
- Snap Peas
- Head Lettuce
- Spinach
- Oragano
- Red Potatoes
- White Potatoes
- Kale
- Dill
- Swiss Chard
- Tomatoes
Each of our daughters have their own box garden for some fresh eating and to learn how to garden, but I have to say, I sure love picking up my fresh basket each week.
Have you ever bought a share in a program like this?

I almost did a CSA share this summer and at the last minuted decided not to. Now you have me rethinking my decision.

This is our first year and if week 1 was any indication, I am THRILLED! Since I pick up my share on Wednesday I will have to meal plan on that day and shop on Thursday to make the most of the items I get each week :)

Fabulous! I looked into Stoneland orchards (they were actuallly the one I wanted but didn't get info about pick locations and their website at the time only said Steinbach. now I know they have a pick up at the Wellness close to the house. We've had 4 weeks of stuff now, with the bigger payloads on the way. I am enjoying the CSA!
