Rosebank Farms

I have joined a CSA, which is a community supported agriculture program or in this case a vegetable and herb share. Each week I receive a delivery of locally grown herbs and vegetables straight off the farm. I am really exited about this program. It is a great way for me to get fresh vegetables. It is much cheaper than buying from a grocery store. And I am able to support my local farm community. What a great program.

The CSA that I joined is Rosebank Farms, which is a traditional southern farm located just outside of Charleston on John’s Island. Along with the vegetable and herb share, they also offer a cheese and flower share. I did not purchase the cheese and flower share but I am able to add items from their store to be added to my box each week if I wish.

This first week’s delivery consisted of mesclun, arugula, turnips, onions, spinach, and strawberries and as a bonus a couple of eggs and a sample of goat cheese. Along with the vegetables each week I will receive recipes to give me ideas of what to cook.

I am really excited about this. I have been talking about this for weeks now and it is finally here. I am running around like a kid in a candy shop.
