The CSA box (or farm share box) is fast becoming a popular way for people to be in touch with local growers and local, seasonal foods. Let’s talk about the benefits of the share, what to expect from the season, how to make most of the box, cleaning and storing produce, improvisation, valuable cooking techniques and recipes. Not just a class for CSA subscribers, but for anyone who’s interested in making the most of local, seasonal foods at their height of flavor.
