This is a little late in coming, but over the Fourth of July weekend, Tyler, myself and a couple of friends headed to the Marin County Fair. This fair was supposed to be the greenest county fair around. We did the typical rounds; checked out the pig races
Hobnobbed with Storm Troopers
Took freaky pictures of clowns
And joined a CSA. Welcome home , indeed. I'm a freak for vegetables and have wanted to join a CSA for awhile. CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture is a way to get local, organic and in season fruits and vegetables. This big draw with this one is they deliver right to your door. We pay a really reasonable amount each month and end up with about 10 1/2 lbs of produce with each delivery. It's also been an awesome opportunity to try new things that I have never thought to pick up at the grocery store or farmers market.
This box included peaches, pattypan squash, heirloom tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, basil, chery tomatoes, and regular cucumbers. If you are interested in getting involved and are in the Bay Area, check out Farm Fresh to You (www.farmfreshtoyou.com)

I have never heard of this vegetable delivery thing. I will have to look into it.. although, does it come with instructions as to how to cook them ;) PS that clown is super freaky. And, did you get the bday package yet?
