I haven't been writing about vegetables with all the baby goodness around here, but I've been waiting for these to arrive. We did the same CSA as last year, two shares, and we added on a fruit share and a dozen eggs. With the high prices as the grocery store we are paying less for local and organic than we would be for big organic or trucked and tasteless. These are the same vegetables that are at our local farmer's market but at wholesale prices.

This weeks we got tomatoes, purple basil, sweet corn, italian roasting peppers, radicchio, little red potatoes, peaches, nectarines, honey crisp apples, and twelve eggs too big to fit into my refrigerator's egg compartments.
