Where Our Eggs Come From!


We picked up our first CSA share of the year yesterday!  This year, we decided to switch to Christensen Farm for a few reasons:

1.  Pick up is on Tuesday at the farmer's market down the street from our house. This is ridiculously more convenient than our last CSA's Saturday delivery.  And our farmers are there at the market, so we get to meet them!

Chicken in the Field!
2.  They are closer and smaller.  It's run by a family from Monroe with adorable children.  I like to live vicariously...

3. They have eggs! I would like to share with you the video of the chickens who lay my eggs and the coop in which they lay them, but I can't get the video to link up here, so you will have to trust that they are some of the happiest chickens you've ever seen.  Also, their eggs are amazing.  (You can see the video on the homepage of the farm-link above, and I did find this photo of one of their happy flock.)

This week, we got asparagus, spinach, lettuce, rhubarb, radishes, carrots, and a jar of red currant grape jelly (and eggs). We had eggs and toast with jelly for breakfast, and it was the happiest way to start a rainy day! At the market, we also picked up a bag of Farmer John's cheese curds-- they were the squeakiest, freshest cheese curds any of us had ever eaten.  We'll never buy cheese curds anywhere else, ever!

OK, I'm starving now...
