Local Food is in Season

Local Food is in Season
This is my favorite time of the year. Farmers' markets are starting to fill up with the first harvests of the year - baby greens, rhubarb, collard greens, kale, asparagus, and strawberries. And I'm anxiously awaiting the first delivery of my community supported agriculture (CSA) share. I love getting fruits and vegetables that are really fresh - probably picked a day or two before making it to my plate. I enjoy meeting and supporting the local farmers who are growing my food.
