Community Supported Agriculture

Alright, if my urban sister can find a CSA in Brooklyn, I can find one here. Pinckney's Produce is a community-supported agriculture (CSA) that is part of Thompson Family Farms out near Lake Marion, about 45 minutes inland from Charleston. Yummy veggies, here I come! I had to promise my boyfriend I would help keep up with the cooking so that no food goes to waste. He is better about cooking with whatever is in the fridge. I am better with recipes and can be unimaginative when faced with random vegetables.

First up, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, green onions, lettuce, strawberries, and turnips. Time to bust out the cookbooks...
