First Farm Box!

Whoohoo! Today was our first farm box delivery of the season from Helsing Junction Farm. We're members of their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and therefore get a box of farm-fresh produce delivered to a central, nearby neighborhood location each week.
The produce has been really lovely in the past, so everyone was looking forward to the first box.

And we weren't disappointed! In this delivery there were: baby carrots, 2 heads of lettuce, radishes, garlic scapes, chives, cilantro, 3 onions, and 3 pints of strawberries!
And as you can see, we didn't even make it through the front door before the kids dug in.
That's Oliver stuffing as many perfectly ripe strawberries into his mouth as fast as he possibly can.
I believe it's going to be a good summer...

Hmmm, Cuddlier than Bees...

Ok, so perhaps the super cool beehive I wrote about previously should wait. Tim has made it clear (quite) that my enthusiasm for crafting our little urban farm has created a long, long (too long?) to-do list for him. So, one new farm-related thing at a time.

Fair enough.

So, I've been wondering, what's more appealing? Home-harvested honey or...


Angora rabbits!

Don't you just love that white puffball? I mean really - not only would you get to sit and pet it, you could make lovely, lovely angora goodies (see the Purl Bee for a very sweet example).

I do believe I'm leaning towards the bunnies...
