Farm visit



This is the second year that we've enrolled in a CSA (community supported agriculture) with Sungold Farms in Forest Grove. Each week during the season, we get a bag of whatever is fresh and ready to harvest. Its kind of fun to have the challenge of planning meals around the suprise, and learn to use things I wouldn't have tried on my own. For example, pickled beets are awesome, though I was sure I wouldn't like beets in any form. They always have an open farm day at the begining of the season. We got to see where our food is coming from, meet the family that runs the farm, take a hayride and check out the equipment. Zane learned the word "tractor" in record time, and boy does he love to use it.
