I challenge anyone to walk into a grocery store and find such lovely produce. Basically, you need to either grow it yourself, or know someone who will grow it for you. Thankfully, Working Gardens is right down the street on Hankins Road. Mixed greens, herbs, radishes in a rainbow of colors, and edible flowers... Priceless!

C.S.A. Salad
Okay, most folks who know me know that one of my new passions is for supporting locally grown produce and community supported agriculture (CSA). If you weren't believers before, take a look at my salad below:

Spring veggies
The onions I planted a while back are coming in nicely...
And the potatoes are also sprouting.
Looks like the season is off to a good start! My radishes are also starting to break the surface, but still have a while to go.
I also got an early first installment from my CSA this season. This week I received a nice bunch of radishes, salad greens, cilantro, and some lovely edible flowers. Scott still has three shares left over for this year's CSA as of this morning if anyone is interested.

New CSA this year
Last year we signed up for a CSA (community supported agriculture) with Katona Gardens in Marshalville. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys cooking with seasonal produce locally grown.
We were also frequent shoppers at the Massillon Farmers Market where we met the Sandbrinks, who always seemed to have the kinds of veggies I love. They had heirloom tomatoes, pretty stiped squash, several varieties of basil, etc.
On a whim I emailed the Sandbrinks earlier this year in case they were considering offering CSA subscriptions this summer since I really liked their produce and they are really close to my house. The good news is that they are starting a CSA, so I signed up right away.
The program is affordable, considering how much we tend to spend at the grocery store. I like my veggies a little less-traveled anyway!
