csa week 3


it's not pretty but it's exactly what my fridge looks like these days
(ignore the beer in the background, it isn't mine)


1. the bounty
  • 2 zucchini
  • 2 golden zucchini
  • 1 bunch toscano kale
  • 2 bunches broccoli
  • 1 head escarole
  • 1 head of lettuce
  • parsley
  • 1 kohlrabi
  • garlic scapes
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 3 pints blueberries
2. cost analysis (comparison costs courtesy of freshdirect):

veggies:

  • 2 zucchini: $3 (organic)
  • 2 golden zucchini: not available; i'll assume $3
  • kale: $3 (organic)
  • broccoli: $5 (organic not available)
  • escarole: $3 (organic not available)
  • lettuce: $3 (organic)
  • parsley: $2 (organic)
  • kohlrabi: not available; i'll say $1
  • garlic scapes: not available; i'll say $2 since there were more than last week
  • 2 cucumbers: $4 (organic)
= $29
actual csa cost per week = $22


fruit:

  • blueberries: over $25 (can this be right?!)
=$25
actual csa cost per week = $11.67


and just when the paychecks couldn't come fast enough, the weather picked up, and the csa started to pay off--big time!
