Still Life with CSA pick up!



If a picture speaks a thousand words - then, enough said.
I’ll just quietly shuffle away and let you enjoy the visual document of this week’s pick-up.
By the way - I could not fit everything on the table!
The list:
4 heads lettuce $8.16
1 pound rainbow chard $2.19
2 pounds carrots $2.58
⅔ pound basil $6.87
4 pounds tomatoes $11.96
2 heads radicchio $5.38
2 fruit eggplant $3.69
2 pounds cucumber $5.98
3 pounds summer squash or zucchini $5.97
2 pints cherry tomatoes $3.99
2 pounds green beans $3.98
2 pints blackberries $7.00
2 hot peppers $0.90
1 bunch chives $1.99
1 bunch winter savory $1.99
1 bunch thyme $1.99
1 bunch thai basil $1.99
1 bunch sage $1.99
1 bunch cilantro $1.99
1 bunch lavender $1.99
1 bunch parsley $1.99
1 bunch mint $1.99
1 bunch okra $1.99
1 bunch flowers $3.00

Total this week: $91.55
So, I if I had bought all this produce this week at the supermarket or health food store I would have spent $91.55.
If we add this week’s take to our total for the season ( $657.51), our new total is: $749.06
In other words, in eleven weeks of picking up our shares at the CSA we picked up $749.06 worth of produce. Quite something!
We are getting awfully close to break even - remember in February I spent $855 for a full share plus an optional berry share. You wanna bet - we’ll reach that in week 12?

To all!
I know that this is the same picture as for the prior post - I just could not help my self!
I took about 60 pictures of this table and I had such a hard time choosing!
