Savoring life in the Berkshires
It’s a snowy, cold, gross day in the Berkshires, but it’s just the kind of weather I needed to get me to sit still for a minute and post this menu plan. We’re officially between CSA seasons – the regular season share ended last week and our winter pick ups don’t start until next week. …
One of the things I like best about our CSA, Mighty Food Farm, is that it’s a free-choice CSA. Even though we never go to the farm to pick up our produce anymore (the farm moved from Pownal to Shaftsbury, Vermont a couple years ago and we just haven’t made the time to visit the…
