Although we loved the CSA farm we belonged to last year, it was more than a half hour drive away. It wasn't the best thing to be driving there and back each week. This year we have switched to Wndy Meadow Farms which delivers everyone's produce to drop off locations and we only have a mile to pick up our veggies. We can even walk there or take our scooters.
This week was our first veggie pickup. We even got to choose what we wanted. We selected potatos, radishes, spinach but no... absolutely no cilantro. We are cilantro tastes like soap people. Well, they still gave us cilantro anyhow. That's okay. The radishes were really good.
funny! i teach a cooking class - and i always ask if anyone is a "cilantro tastes like soap" person - personally i can't take much rosemary...
ReplyDeletemy friends have been doing the csa thing for a few years now and they love it
i wish i had a scooter
I agree, cilantro tastes like soap. What's up with that?
ReplyDeleteYep, I vote soap here too.
ReplyDeleteI am a card-carrying cilantro lover, so pop that bunch into an envelope and send it down to New Jersey!
ReplyDelete(naturally, I kid)
Those radishes look divine.
It's so interesting to see what everyone's getting from their CSAs... we're all greens and radishes down here. I've really got to figure out what to do with all of these greens!
ReplyDeleteOur CSA is about 20 min away which isn't my favorite either. They have pick-ups in about 4 different locations all pretty far from us. Boo ...
we are cilantro tastes like soap people too! blech!
ReplyDelete:)
My husband thinks that cilantro tastes like toothpaste, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteThat's all you got for your CSA? Do you have a quarter share or something?
ReplyDeleteyou either hate cilantro or love it to pieces. no in between. i happen to love it.
ReplyDeleteHow funny. I've never heard that expression before about cilantro tasting like soap! We love it!
ReplyDeleteWhew! I thought I was the only person who didn't like cilantro. When a dish I order unexpectedly has cilantro in it, I will actually sit there and pick out every bit before taking a bite.
ReplyDeletei heart cliantro:)
ReplyDeleteThey have to give you the cilantro because no one wants it so they sneak it in anyway lol.
ReplyDeleteThis summer from the CSA we belong to in AZ we get peaches, melons, onions, potatoes, beans. In the fall we were getting a lot of greens... Maybe the climate allows for a wide variety.
ReplyDeleteI pick up my share on my scooter too!
(BTW - love your blog!)
Totally a cilantro=soap person. I hate it. My dad too. My mom and husband love it.
ReplyDeleteThe drop off locations make it much easier. We just renewed our CSA for the summer - the spring did mean lots of lettuce and greens, but now I'm a master of cooking swiss chard! :) It seems like the greens time is over here and we're moving on to zucchini and squashes. They never offered cilantro though, boo!
ReplyDeleteThanks to you we joined a CSA ourselves. They are an hour away, but also have drop off locations - very close to my house.
ReplyDeleteI love Cilantro - but I live in Texas. It is a must. As a former Buffaloian Mexican food (including guacamole) has grown on me.
No need to send me some, I grow it in my backyard.
