Hello and welcome to the very beginning of our Spring 2023 CSA season. On behalf of all the co-op owners, we’re so happy you’re here!
Whether you’re a first-time CSA member who has no idea how to kohlrabi or are a seasoned locavore, we hope these monthly collections of recipes will help guide you through your vegetable haul, inspire some new meals, and remove a bit of the mental load that accompanies the question – “What’s for dinner?”.
Lucky for you, you’re not far from easy, incredibly delicious meals. You’re starting with the best of the best – very fresh, local, and nutritionally-dense ingredients, and you don’t need to do much to make really tasty food. When in doubt, grab the olive oil, salt, and a lemon, and voila, chef’s kiss!
Thanks for being here, and thank you for trusting in your local food system. We’re so excited to grow your food!
Sincerely,
Your Central Texas Farmer Co-Op Owners
