Week 6 saw more mint, more of the salad mix (which lasts at least a week in the fridge!), garlic scape

I arrived at the market early (read 8am) on Saturday as we had a cable guy coming to install a new outlet. I was greeted with a big bag of Kale, more garlic scapes, some huge spring onions, more cherry tomatoes, some herb I have no idea what it is, mint and a special treat from The Swiss Connection Farmstead Cheeses. I was offered an alternative to the cheese as the CSA has information on my dairy allergy, but I accepted it anyway as my wife can eat it. We received a half pound of the gouda-like Flora cheese.

The email update from the wonderful folk at the CSA wasn’t received until after I picked up our share this week. I was pleasantly surprised to see a small paper bag from the Bloomington Coffee Roasters. We received about a half a pound of their Good Day blend. I have been meaning to check out their stuff for a while now, and it is pretty decent.

This week the added extra was wildflower honey from Hunter's Honey Farm about a 20 minute drive from here.

My wife recently got us interested in slow foods. These are basically foods grown and raised using more traditional farming methods. They also focus on locally produced foods.
